There’s a lot of talk about States within NLP;
looking at the desired state - what it is that you want and the present state –
where you are at the moment.
Most clients want to overcome anxiety or fear; some
with phobias of something specific whilst some don’t even know what they are
afraid of, just feel anxious.
Fear is part of our survival instinct; it sets our
body and mind in motion in preparation for a perceived threat. It’s hard
wired into the sub conscious and is one of our oldest emotions; sometimes
generated without any conscious awareness. We feel uneasy, yet don't know
why. It makes us jump when something moves on the ground or touches us,
makes us blink when something is coming towards our eyes. We respond due to
sensory input driving us into action.
Fear makes you focus. There’s a moment of
awareness, with our unconscious telling us something isn't right, and as we
sense "something" we freeze. This freezing may stop predators
from seeing us it also gives us a chance to evaluate the situation and if it is
OK we continue - returning to what we were doing.
Fear is all about chemicals, epinephrine and nor
epinephrine; epinephrine (adrenaline) is secreted by the adrenal glands.
These chemicals are released in moments of fear to prepare us for the fight or
flight response; and changes occur to improve chances of survival. As
well as increased strength an increase in oxygen increases sensory acuity
whilst non-survival process like digestion are put on hold.
Fears and phobias are extreme anxieties. As we
go through life we learn a great many things by experience, things we are not
even aware of. An unconscious learning, fear is one of these experiences
and is a demonstration of how quickly we learn an automatic response.
From one experience the mind can generalize and
attach fear. Then the flight or fight response kicks in. Your
imagination is far more powerful than conscious will and the area of the brain
that you use to imagine something is the same area that is used when
experiencing things. Which is why your nervous system can’t tell the
difference between a real or vividly imagined experience.
For an event to be coded as traumatic its said that
four conditions need to be met. First it needs to be a emotional event;
second, have a meaning for the individual; third, the chemicals need to be in
place and fourth the experience is perceived as inescapable. If these are
present it is possible that the brain will categorize the event as traumatic.
And yet there could be 2 people at the same event and
one will be traumatized whilst the other will not. How can this happen?
Life is full of traumatic moments, in order for an
event to be traumatizing it must produce an emotional response. Meaning
is attached to the event, and whereby one person may code something as
traumatic another may not. A good example of this is those who are afraid
of riding on roller coasters, they produce the four conditions in their mind
and they know its scary and dangerous; whereas someone who loves roller
coasters will have all the same conditions in place yet they love the thrill of
the ride.
Our feelings are created by the way in which we
think of something; for example someone scared of spiders may be creating an
image in their mind of a larger than life spider which is scaring them. Our fears may have begun due to specific
event in our lives but these tend to evolve to a point whereby it’s the thought
of the event/situation that causes the feeling rather than the situation/event
itself.
There are a number of ways in which you can change
the way you feel - one of these is; as you notice a feeling of
anxiety/panic begin
1.
Breath in gently and slowly through your mouth
when your lungs are full hold your breath for 10 seconds then
2.
Breath out slowly through your nose
3.
Breath in slowly through your mouth and
hold your breath for 5 seconds
4.
Breath out slowly through your nose
5.
continue breathing this way for a couple of
minutes at which point the anxiety will have subsided.
