Anxiety is actually a typical reaction to stressful scenarios in life but, for some, anxiousness can turn into a huge burden. If anxiety is changing the way you reside your life, then you can be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Social anxiousness (or social phobia) would be the name for anxiety that occurs through social situations.
Feelings, feelings, feelings! Does your entire life seems to be run by the way you feel? Sometimes you feel great, other times terrible and for the majority of time you feel just all alright. When you feel great “on top of the world” doesn’t it feel like you can achieve anything? When you feel down, depressed or negative don’t you feel like nothing is worth the effort and even if it were you would probably fail anyway? As I’ve said most of the time you will find yourself somewhere in the middle, just muddling through life day by day. But, what do you think you could accomplish if you could control your emotional state and evoke any emotion you wanted?
What are you afraid of? I’m sure that like almost everybody else you are afraid of something.
If you have issues coping with nerve wracking scenarios then you can experience panic or anxiety attacks. These occur when you're feeling like you can no longer cope with your fears and anxieties. Learning how to combat anxiety is all about retraining your mind so you don’t overact to situations you find intense. Anxiousness is the results of believing you cannot cope and this triggers the survival instinct that we all have that is known as the flight or fight response. If the anxiousness gets totally out of control we feel as though we are losing control and this often signals the start of a panic episode.
Phobia of commitment derives from past painful experiences that are often rooted with traumatic emotional pain. People experiencing phobia to commitment often hurt themselves by shielding themselves in order to protect themselves. But by avoiding to feel the emotions of hurt, they also prevent themselves from feeling the love and acceptance of being committed. And they hurt others, sometimes not intentionally by making themselves distant and sabotaging what is good.
Individuals have different kinds of emotions and sometimes these emotions cast long term results on our lives. In the past, Chinese developed a lot of various Emotional Freedom Techniques to treat unnecessary feelings and pains well. One of them was acupuncture, which worked efficiently in a lot of areas of health including emotions. At present, a new technique called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) has been developed which uses the same points like acupuncture except that needles are not used.
