NLP is always about having more choices more freely available. At NLP Marin Authentic Noah Fant Jersey , we regard just about everything that people do that they do not want to be doing as expressions of old, out-of-date safety patterning. How much easier and more satisfying would it be, to be human, if our out-of-date patterning could be updated simply and directly? This capability--direct system updates that keep our internal software current with the reality our lives--is one of the main ingredients of NLP personal change magic.
Some of the most striking and common occurrences of unfortunate, safety-related out-of-datedness are the fear-based safety patterns that we all know as phobias and panic attacks. Both kinds of experience can vary considerable in intensity. Each can be mildly annoying or almost life destroying. Both are definitely unwanted, and both are--in terms of all conventional methods of treatment--extremely difficult to get rid of.
Panic attacks are conventionally viewed as "panic without an object," and phobias as "panic with an object." The person suffering a panic attack experiences intense fear, and apparently for no reason. The phobic individual at least is able to know what he or she is afraid of Authentic Royce Freeman Jersey , but often not why. However, even in the case of apparently unmotivated panic, there is never "for no reason."
Fear and panic reactions are always straightforward, sensible responses to specific stimuli, usually invisible, internal pictures and sounds.
The internal sensory representations (internal pictures, sounds, feelings Authentic Courtland Sutton Jersey , smells and tastes) that cause "irrational" fear and panic can do this because of a bug in human wiring. Put very simply, the brain circuits that light up when we process an external picture or sound are essentially the same ones we use to process purely internal ("imaginary") sounds and pictures, etc. As a result, if we are being chased by a real bear, or if we are merely imagining such a chase, parts of our brain dedicated to issues of basic survival cannot tell the difference; they produce the same fear, the very same panic, the very same fightflight physiological consequences (breathing changes Authentic Bradley Chubb Jersey , skin color and temperature changes, etc.). The problem is that we are not aware of what we are seeing internally. Although we are programmed to generate our own internal lions and tigers and bears, we are also programmed to not notice that we are doing this. The result, unavoidably, is fear and panic "for no reason."
But, again, there is a reason; there is always a reason. There is always an answer to the question, "How are you making yourself afraid?"
Most conventional approaches attempt to correct things by changing attitudes Authentic Phillip Lindsay Jersey , so that the phobic or panicked individual is more able to cope, andor by helping to gradually desensitize the person, so that, over a rather long period of time, and after much exposure to the things that are so fearful, they really don't mind much any more.
These methods have become part of the conventional therapeutic repertoire because they often do some good. However, they have a severe limitation: they treat the symptoms, and leave the source of the unwanted experience intact. NLP goes after the source of the fear in the brain's processing Authentic Joe Flacco Jersey , directly, with the result that the brain no longer generates the unwanted experience, because it has been re-patterned. Using the NLP toolbox is like plugging a keyboard into the brain. It gives us access to programmed neural instructions that the brain uses to create fear. It allows us to directly restructure, re-sequence, and generally revise the unwanted patterning that generates unwanted experience and behavior.
The NLP toolbox gives us an unequaled way to observe, capture, decode and understand how (not just why) human beings create and maintain their experience. When we can understand how someone generates a glorious capability, for example Authentic Von Miller Jersey , or how he or she generates disabling fear and panic, then we can work directly to increase the former and eliminate the latter. The key word here is "eliminate," not adjust to, adapt to, or cope with, but eliminate the patterning that produces the unwanted anxiety and fear.
Using NLP, the question, "What lets you know to be afraid?" is not useless; it is essential and straightforwardly helpful. It is essential because Authentic John Elway Jersey , through the body, other-than-conscious aspects of the personality always fully answer this question. It is helpful because, through these externally visible movements and changes that correspond to the internal fear sources, the body directs the healing practitioner to locate and reorganize the specific past experience that is causing fear in the present. Again, the client will usually have no idea what this past material is, but body physiology always provides the needed information. In fact, the answers come flooding out.
Once the old pictures and soundtracks that are causing the fear are identified, the next steps in fixing the phobia or eliminating the panic involve scrambling the signals that the brain has been using to produce the unwanted fear. This is done directly Dre'Mont Jones Jersey , by having the client change the look and sequence of the internal pictures. This is an astonishingly simple thing to do and it has the good effect of interrupting the brain's ability to produce fear.
In situations where a phobia has generalized severely, or in which the loss of free choice has deeply affected the afflicted person's identity, their definition of themselves, it is often necessary to do more than simply re-pattern the sensory sequence (the pictures andor soundtrack) that caused the fear. This presents us with different, additional opportunities for transformational NLP magic, but that is another exploration altogether.
