PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and NLP

What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (or simply PTSD) is categorized as an anxiety disorder. PTSD develops'post-trauma' which means the individual was exposed to life-threatening and extremely frightening incidents or situations both natural and man-made. While people are experiencing trauma long before the word was coined, PTSD was only recognized as a diagnosis in 1980. NLP has gained credibility as an effective therapy for PTSD as more and more people have benefited from it. When you have PTSD, your brain still continues reacting with nervousness even when the original trauma is over. PTSD is a delayed reaction by which the symptoms may manifest themselves after months of experiencing or witnessing the traumatic event. NLP helps the patients to better understand the changes that they may experience and to interpret their experiences in a positive manner.

Is it fatal?

A person with PTSD suffers both physiologically and Psychological. This means that the brain activities and functions are being altered somehow. PTSD sufferers are likely to become delicately sensitive even to usual life experiences. Nonetheless, sufferers tend to overlook the physiological effects as they are often mistaken as physical issues like headaches or dizziness. NLP therapists are able to provide help to the patients in a manner that they learn to change their brains' physiology back to normal. Psychologically, PTSD sufferers are likely to develop self-destructive behaviors, eating disorders and psychoses. NLP therapists are skilled in diagnosing and helping with the symptoms of destructive behaviors or other disorders.

Is it age related?

Anybody who is exposed to a traumatic event may develop PTSD, and so it is not really developed with age. Nevertheless, what you have experienced earlier in your life may affect your ability to cope with traumatic events in the future. People who experienced traumatic event in childhood are more likely to develop PTSD when an equally terrifying event or incident happens again. Thus, children and adolescent who experienced or had witnessed a traumatic event are at more risk of developing PTSD when they are older.

Is it gender related?

While more men experience traumatic events in their lifetime, women are twice as likely to develop PTSD. There have been incidences where men in combat suffer from PTSD after they return. NLP therapists use can use a gender specific therapy to help men and women as the reasons for PTSD may vary between them. While women are not exposed to these types of violence, however, women are more likely to experience sexual assault like rape and or suffer from domestic violence which explains the prevalence of PTSD among them. Further, women almost always describe their experience as a perceived life threat and extreme fright. On the other hand, women are more likely to cope with PTSD than their male counterpart. Women report about the disorder as an anxiety disorder but men commonly associate the disorder with external factors like substance or alcohol abuse. NLP techniques can help in better understanding reasons for the symptoms and hence in a better treatment.

Is it transmittable?

PTSD is very subjective since it relates to a specific life experience either experienced or witnessed by a person. However, PTSD may also develop without actually experiencing or witnessing any life threatening event. When a family member is harmed, for instance, another family member may develop PTSD. There are people who suffer from PTSD after watching movies or news programs which contain visual presentations of a terrifying event. NLP therapists need to explore the underlying causes as well as vulnerabilities in order to develop an accurate NLP approach for individual patients. PTSD is effectively treated by the help of NLP. NLP training enables the victim to rethink and readjust his mental coding about the traumatic event and to view it in a less hurtful manner. NLP therapy encourages the victim to tap into his inherent strengths and to face the traumatic event in a manner that renders it harmless.

How Much Stress Has To Do With Your Attacks Of Colitis or Crohn's Disease And What They Are Saying

Does stress cause Colitis or Crohn's attacks as many suggest or is it just hearsay?

Just recently while driving into work, and listening to a popular talk show in the Detroit, MI area WJR 760, the announcer said something that immediately caught my attention. The topic of this particular morning segment happened to be Colitis. And the reason that this particular digestive disorder happened to take such a prominent place in the lineup of news issues of the day, was because the Mayor of the city of Detroit...Mayor Dave Bing had recently been hospitalized for a particularly severe attack of Colitis...so severe in fact that he had to be admitted to the hospital, and receive emergency surgery to repair a perforated intestine caused by the disease. As part of the show prep, radio announcer Paul W. Smith had selected an area physician to interview and get information to the listeners about Colitis, including, what were the symptoms, and some of the possible causes of the disease.

One of the first questions that Paul W. Smith asked the doctor, was did he think the cause for the Mayor's Colitis might be due to the high degree of stress that he had been under over the past several months in trying to solve the huge debt problem that the city of Detroit was experiencing and the threat of possible bankruptcy. Paul W. Smith commented that he had heard that stress was a very important contributor to the cause of Colitis or digestive disorders like it. The doctor responded that in his opinion stress was not in fact the probable cause, suggesting instead, that it was more likely the effects of the Mayor taking antibiotics that led to the mayors Colitis condition. The doctor said that antibiotics, when they are consumed, tend to kill the good bacteria as well as the bad that exist in our bodies, specifically the stomach and digestive tract. The good bacteria exists in our stomach for the purpose of digesting our food. Without these vital bacteria in the stomach, proper digestion is disrupted, which in turn causes the stomach disorder Colitis.

However, I have a question as to if maybe the radio announcer might have been right in suggesting that stress could have been the major cause for the Mayor's Colitis attack. Many of the people I have written to recently about this possibility, who are actually Colitis sufferers themselves tend to agree that stress really could be the major contributor.

First of all, I have no idea if the Mayor did take antibiotics prior to his attack of Colitis or not, or whether it was the primary contributor to his condition. However, when I put the question of stress and its impact on their condition to other people who also suffer from either Colitis or the similar digestive disease, Crohn's disease, they agreed unanimously that stress was the most significant and long standing contributor to their relapses of Colitis/Crohn's than anything else they could think of. I have suffered with Crohns disease myself for many years (a digestive disorder related to Colitis) and I can definitely say that my flare-ups many times have coincided with heightened stress periods in my life, like during work, job loss, divorce, school or the loss of a close relative.

One gentleman from Minnesota responded to me in an e-mail with this statement: "There has been a lot of research done on stress and how it affects your body. It's not good. My own experience is even though the onset of the disease was antibiotic driven, every flare up since then (20 years ago) can be linked directly to a very stressful period in my life. Even while on maintenance meds, if a lengthy stressful period is occurring, I can almost count on a flare up. This one was brought on during a work project that had me traveling a LOT and things were not going well and 3 weeks into being gone from home, I had to return to go see the doc."

A person from the United Kingdom wrote: "I have never had any issues with my gut, and the first time I noticed any symptoms was just after my husband had an invasive cardiac procedure a year ago."

Another contributor wrote that while he didn't think stress was the cause of his Colitis he was diagnosed with, he definitely believes that it does make his symptoms worse.

One woman wrote that many of her past flare-ups were stress related, usually when she was experiencing a lot of stress either at work or at home. Her doctors however told her that stress was not the cause. Another person wrote "Anytime I am super stressed I get a belly ache. So I do believe that stress plays a big role in developing disease."

So the end result is this... for many Colitis/Crohn's disease suffers, stress really is an important contributor to flare-ups and steps need to be taken to reduce it in their lives in order to experience any relief from their digestive disorder.

Stress Incontinence - What You Should Know

Stress incontinence is not a disease but it is a symptom of other problems. It is important that an appointment be made to visit the doctor once you notice the first symptoms of this condition. Your doctor will give you a thorough examination before prescribing treatment. There are several causes of incontinence such as vaginitis, urethritis and urinary tract infection but all these can be treated effectively with medication. There are other factors you might want to consider once you are being treated for this condition such as possible side effects from the medication you are taking. The doctor will now be able to focus on the organs directly affected.

Stress incontinence affects the muscles which support the bladder and the sphincters which control the flow of urine. These organs are often damaged or weakened by this problem. Once these muscles are stretched or torn, or if they lose their tone you are unable to control your bladder and the urge to urinate. Additionally, it can reach the point where picking up a heavy object, a laugh, or a sneeze can put considerably stress on your bladder and cause a spontaneous flow of urine.

An exercise regime is usually the treatment used for stress incontinence and Kegel exercises were developed to strengthen the group of muscles affected by this condition. When the exercises are performed consistently for the period of four to five months they can impact your health immensely and can also present a cure or lessen the symptoms.

There are other common treatments for stress incontinence. These include staying away from natural diuretics and spicy foods, losing weight and controlling your fluid intake. Obesity puts more pressure on your bladder which can cause a worsening of the condition. Visiting your doctor will be the best thing to do as the doctor will decide which treatment is best for you.

Another therapy which has been in use for several years is bulking. In bulking, some form of material is injected into the sphincter muscles to 'bulk' them up and make them less prone to abdominal pressure. The materials which are injected can be any of the following: synthetic materials, collagen, or cells taken from the patient's own body.

This particular procedure usually takes only thirty minutes and can be done on an outpatient basis. The medical professional uses a local anesthetic to inject the material directly into the muscles involved. This treatment is very effective since about twenty- five percent of the people who undertake this procedure is cured, but for others their symptoms can decrease to a half. There is a drawback to this approach, in that the materials which are injected may lose their effectiveness, requiring a repeat injection every two or three years. Although this is considered to be a successful treatment for this problem,it does not really decrease the urge to urinate spontaneously.

If you are suffering from stress incontinence it is best to take the necessary steps to either control or cure it.

How To Learn More About Your Anxiety And Stress By Keeping A Diary

Anxiety disorders along with stress and even depressive disorders are often difficult to understand, by keeping a daily diary you will be able to recognise when you are feeling more anxious or stressed than usual, be able to pinpoint the symptoms you are feeling and over time you will be able to recognise the stressful situations and triggers. By avoiding situations that trigger stress and anxiety whenever possible you will be able to minimise the amount of suffering you have to endure. There are of course situations which simply cannot be avoided and have to be faced and we have to deal with them in the best way we can, but by keeping these situations to a minimum we will reduce our anxiety and stress levels.

Here are some tips to help in planning and keeping an anxiety and stress diary:

Choose a diary with plenty of space for daily entries, preferably a day to a page in A5 or A4 format, you could also just use a notepad or writing pad and date the pages as you use them
It is very important to try and make an entry everyday, by being consistent you will get the best results from your efforts
Write down what happens in your day, whether it good or bad. You can list symptoms and how you were feeling at a certain place or in a certain situation. If you felt terrible and you panicked, write it down in detail, why you felt that way and what triggered or caused you to react in that way. Remember to also write down the good times during that day, it is important not to dwell only on the negative feelings you had. If you have felt bad all day just think back to one moment that maybe something made you smile for a few seconds or perhaps you received something nice in the mail. Write it down, there's usually something good you can include each day and it will help to balance out the negative entries.
When you have had your diary for 2 or 3 weeks you can begin to go back over it, study each day and each entry you have written. Write a separate list of triggers that appear time and time again, situations that regularly make you anxious or stressed. Keep this list and add to it weekly or monthly, you will soon begin to see a pattern emerging. After a period of maybe 6 months you should have a list of most of the stress inducing situations, you should know what symptoms to look out for and you will recognise your individual triggers or anxiety provoking conditions.

If you follow the above consistently you will then be able to use your findings to make a drastic reduction in your anxiety and stress levels. Avoid stress inducing situations as much as you possibly can you will then have more strength and mental coping skills to deal with the situations that are unavoidable in our everyday lives.

Hypoglycemia Causes and Adapting to Stress

One of the Hypoglycemia causes that has shown up in numerous research studies is definitely stress, so it is imperative that you learn to adapt to the stress in your life.

Many people aren't aware that exposure to short periods of stress is necessary for one's personal growth and development. Being in a stressful situation forces us to get out of our comfort zones and exercises our creativity in finding solutions to the problems we find ourselves involved in. A person who has not experienced stress is a person who is not equipped to deal with normal, everyday life.

Stressful situations in life are indeed inevitable. While they cannot be completely avoided, we can mitigate their effects by adapting and adjusting to them. Here are some tips to help you do just that.

Be positive

There are two sides to every stressful situation--- a positive and a negative side. When one dwells on the negative side of a situation that he or she cannot change, he or she ends up a frazzled pile of nerves and irritability. When one chooses to look on the positive side, he or she will be more open to the opportunities the situation presents to improve oneself, helping to take on board the lessons learnt by the situation. Feeling bad about the stressful situation will not make things any better. Looking at the brighter side of things may not help change the situation either but at least you will learn and feel better about it.

Take a step back

If we take a step back and look at the bigger picture, we will find that more often than not, we stress about small things, which will not really matter in the big scheme of things. The energy and effort you put in worrying over these small things will be better put to use on things that really matter. Learn to discern between the big and small things and don't sweat the small stuff. This way you put your energies to something more constructive and get rid of a source of useless stress.

No-one's perfect

One last point, perfection is an impossible goal to achieve. No one is, after all, perfect. We can get rid of a lot of useless stress by not expecting perfection in everything we do and with the people we deal with. This is not to say that we should be satisfied with mediocrity. The point here is to know and to set reasonable standards for oneself and other people. When we keep trying for perfection and expecting it from others, we set ourselves up for a lifetime of frustration. Learn to be satisfied with "good."

Stress, Worry, Anxiety and a Cure

When my first marriage fell apart, my kids were very young. My daughter was six and my son was just four years old. Trying to be fair to everyone concerned and do the right thing for my children made it a very painful time for me. Amongst other things, I began to realise that I would not be able to give my children the upbringing that I had wanted to provide. In many ways, things were out of control and it was all very stressful at the time.

However, somewhere along the way, I came to realise that I really had done my best and it was time to mentally let go of trying to exert influence over the situation. Yes, it was certainly true that my kids were going to get a different life than the one I had wanted for them, but it was not going to be a bad life. They were going to be properly provided for and there was absolutely no point in me continuing to worry about the situation any longer.

So what I decided to do was something that I have since repeated on other occasions, as and when necessary, because it turned out to be a very powerful technique for releasing mental anguish. It was not something I had read about. It was something I just decided to do. We were going to visit the seaside, something I always enjoy, and I decided that I was going to write in the sand, in very big letters, the thing I was worried about which, as you know, was the kids.

I had told myself in advance that as the waves came in and washed away the writing that I was also going to allow them to wash away all of the worry that was on my mind. I was determined to leave the associated mental anxiety right there, on the beach. So that's exactly what I did. I wrote in big letters, just those two words 'The Kids' and then sat there for a while, watching as the waves came in and washed away the letters taking with them all the stress I had been feeling.

The next day, the beach was perfectly clear and so too was my mind. It was completely free of the worry that had previously been present and I was never again troubled by such thoughts. The process had enabled me to completely come to terms with the situation. Years later, when I was going through a tough time in my job, I did the same thing again and it worked well for me. It enabled me to release the worry associated with that state of affairs too.

For this process to work for you, I believe you need to be ready to release the anxiety. You may think that there would be no reason that you would not be ready, but I think there may be deep psychological reasons that we sometimes wish to hold on to worry. Probably it is during the period when we are still actively seeking solutions or wondering about how best to react to the situation.

However, if you have come to the place where you are ready to stop worrying about something, I would commend this little exercise to you. Take yourself off to the beach. It is always a wonderful and inspiring place to be, especially in the early evening. Write about whatever is troubling you in the sand and tell yourself that you are going to let it go for good. Then watch for yourself as the waves work their little miracle.

Confront Stress to Lose Weight

Progress in science and technology have transformed how people live and work. Headways in the 21st millennium, show that life expectancy rates have increased and diseases that were once thought incurable have been eliminated.

However, modern wonders have been unable to wayside the ever increasing numbers of overweight people.

More than one-third of adult Americans and one in three children are overweight. Commercially prepared foods and fast foods have dramatically changed how, when, and what we eat. Technology, the convenience of transportation, and the process of work from labor intensive into less active activities have added to the rise of obesity.

A significant factor that has been left behind in the news is the truth that stress plays an important role in the cause for becoming overweight.

Just what do you do when you are trying to meet a timeline? When you feel rejected, unloved or angry? More often than not, you probably scarf down food.

You begin to develop specific cravings, known as "comfort foods," as a means to calm down your nerves and to take your mind away from your problems for a while.

As your stress builds, your brain tells you, "take a break, taste me, I'm delightful!" Your thoughts are filled with spiraling images of pizza with extra cheese, cookies, ice cream, hamburgers...and not just a burger on a bun, but one with double cheese and your favorite condiments. Eating is one of the most common diversions for emotional distress.

Frustrated people are more apt to yield to food cravings. Research shows that an normal healthy person has about seven to ten pounds of toxic waste. And so it is not difficult to form a mental picture of how much waste overweight people carry. Some other studies unveil that 10 percent of those who are obese began excessive eating as a means to escape from fears, depression and apprehensions.

The joy of eating becomes a way to dampen and avoid negative thoughts and feelings. Our mind maps have a huge affect on how the body feels. One way or another, our bodies mirror our emotional condition. In addition to controlling our eating behavior, we also need to learn to deal with, and understand our emotions.

Observe what goes on in any restaurant and more than likely, you'll see people hurriedly eating whatever is on their plate...probably not really enjoying the meal. Instead of receiving good nourishment, busy people take in high fat, high calorie and processed foods.

If you're determined to shed a few or a lot of excess weight, you need to reduce the causes of stress in your life by meeting them head on. Certain foods are known to raise stress levels.

A cup or so of coffee in the morning is fine. However, too much caffeine can upset your stomach and have you bouncing off the walls, unable to focus your attention. And what about that sugar rush you get from the sweets you eat! Is the temporary rush of energy worth the increasing odds of type 2 diabetes later on?

Monitoring what you eat and being familiar with what foods promote strength and stamina is a must.

A good rule of thumb is to do everything in moderation. Do anything with your hands rather than sinking it into bucket of chicken or gripping a soda with the other.

Stop and take time to ask yourself, "why am I eating this?"

How To Deal With Post-Traumatic Stress After a Car Accident

Post-traumatic stress is caused by a great many things, from war to car crashes. As personal injury attorneys, we see how PTSD affects car accident victims everyday, and we want to help people identify the problem and get medical help.

Even if the injuries sustained in the car accident are minor, PTSD can be severe. If the injuries were serious or fatal, however, PTSD can even be debilitating, escalating beyond a person's ability to cope on their own.

How people are affected by PTSD varies a lot as well. Some people will simply be more anxious when driving for a couple weeks, while others maybe too afraid to ever drive again.

Common Symptoms of PTSD after an accident include:

Guilt (especially if someone is disabled or died in the accident)AngerNightmaresPanic or fearDrug or alcohol useDepressionEndangerment of themselvesNumbnessSocial disconnection

If you see any of these signs in yourself or a loved one after an accident, please consider seeking help. Many things can set off these feelings, though it is most commonly experienced when driving near the area of the accident or hearing similar sounds (such as sirens or squealing tires). You can help avoid these by taking alternate routes or asking others to drive.

Treatment for PTSD After an Accident:

1. Psychotherapy: therapy sessions, which can be either short-term or long-term, to help victims feel safer and more in control so that they can begin to cope in a healthy way with what happened

2. Cognitive behavior therapy: CBT helps victims develop thinking habits that help reduce symptoms and guides thought processes to improve condition

3. Group therapy: therapy sessions with others, usually with the same condition, that allows everyone to talk and see positive results; sometimes these are combined with individual sessions to allow a person to discuss their feelings with people who understand

Compensation for Treatment of PTSD:

In many cases, therapy for PTSD after a car accident can be compensated in a personal injury claim. While you cannot just claim to have PTSD and demand money from the insurance company, well-documented visits to doctors and licensed therapists can serve as proof that you have PTSD and have sought medical help. These records can be seen by insurance companies as part of the medical damages from the accident.

In many cases, people feel they can deal with their PTSD themselves or do not really realize that they have PTSD but this is a serious condition and treatment should be sought. And the insurance for the person at-fault for the accident should pay these costs as part of the personal injury claim.

Maybe You Can't Change The Economy But You Can Manage Your Stress

The current economic climate is challenging, to say the least. Nonetheless, for many of us it can be a very large source of anxiety for a variety of reasons.

- Probably you are concerned about the security of your career.

- Perhaps you are concerned about the interest rates on your loans.

- Possibly you are simply feeling the typical tension from the turmoil that appears to be encompassing all of us in these difficult times.

No matter the causes for the anxiety, it is important that you discover positive methods of working the tension out of your system. Anxiety, from all types of sources, can lead to depression and a host of other detrimental emotional states of your mind.

Thankfully there are a number of measures that you can easily take in order to free yourself from the stress and, in the process, give yourself a bit of an emotional and psychological breather. Let's take a look at the best 3 measures that you can easily take in order to diminish the anxiety you feel from the economic climate.

1. Avoid The News:

The daily news is seldom filled with positive reports; just how many times do you tune in to your local news and feel overwhelmed by the horribly adverse stories that provide tales about the toll the economy is taking on those in the city? Take a break from your local news! Turn that hour that might normally have been spent watching the news into time better spent going for a walk, reading a book, taking a relaxing bubble bath, or asking your family about their day. You ought to also think of avoiding well-liked news websites and your regional newspaper, as they are rarely filled by having positive reports regarding the economy.

2. Avoid Negative People:

We all know the type. Those people that never have anything positive to state, that never ever express anything positive regarding their lives, and who just see the doom and gloom side of things. Eliminate these types of people, because chances are that they will certainly not have anything positive to say about the future of the economy and the world that we live in. The last thing that you desire is to spend your free time with folks that are going to escalate the stress levels and make you feel more frustrated.

3. Out Of Mind:

Make a pact with yourself to eliminate thinking of the things that create your extreme tension. Place out of your mind all thoughts of the economic climate and as an alternative, concentrate on more positive things in your life.

a. Avoid thoughts of the economic climate

b. Avoid writing about the economy on your blog site or on social networks

c. Avoid having negative chats about the economic climate with those around you.

You can easily manage the tension and you can effectively lessen it. Take the positive steps that will definitely help you live a life that is a lot more positive.

A Brief History Of Stress

The history of how stress evolved is both interesting and helpful in understanding how your mind deals with internal and external stresses. In fact, the key to understanding negative stress aspects was first pioneered by a physiologist from France, Claude Bernard. His studies emphasized how certain principles regarding equilibrium dynamics could remain steady and constant, both in a situation or state, thus continuing the survival of the internal part of the human body. He showed how external influences within our environment or forces beyond that could upset the fragile balance our internal systems, resulting in reactions to bring about a re-balance. External influences could include outside temperature variations, a lack of or a presence of too much oxygen, a lack of energy, and the existence of predators or other threats, diseases or simple negativity from someone close.

Interestingly, even though this is a brief history of stress, the facts that are revealed show that even science has an explanation for the causes of stress that we feel and the activity that goes on within our minds and bodies as we undergo reactions to stress as a normal part of life and as an effect of living life that in many senses is a protective measure used by our bodies naturally.

The famous neurologist, Walter Cannon, was better known as the scientist who defined the emotional and physical aspects of stress through homeostasis. He pioneered the discovery of the fight or flight response, a reactionary result of stress in both animals and humans. His work showed how the medulla's adrenal gland in the brain released neurotransmitters during such responses. He isolated the 2 neurotransmitters which were being released, including adrenaline (epinephrine) and norephinephrine. His evidence showed definite stress to physiology effects on the body and mind, resulting in varied responses, including hypervigilence, nervousness, an increased heart rate and heightened alertness.

Another expert did some experiments regarding reducing stress, determining how the immune system slowly broke down, ulcers formed in the gastrointestinal system and how the adrenal gland began to enlarge. Giving it a new name, stress syndrome, the scientist concluded that how the body and mind became almost ill to adapt to the stresses was not bad, but a part of a normal and natural process. However, additional observations concluded that though the process of stress adaption was normal, continued stress adaption could cause bodily damage. Sadly, though the positive side of how the mind and body adapts to stressors was finally realized, stress overall was considered from then on as a bad rap.

Whichever way that you view stress, it has its pros and cons, helping mankind survive over the cycle of human evolution, a brief history of stress that is far more useful than you might have once realized. Ironically, though the fight or flight response that we have to stress is normal, the stress effects on us physically and emotionally are so uncomfortable to us that we too easily forget its importance in our very survival. However, even too much of this is not normal and as such as humans we spend our whole lives learning and coping with stress.

Williams Tehoy, an expert in coping with stress, reducing stress and stress effects, for more than 30 years, developed control stress program for home use.
