Phobias and Trauma
Is there something which triggers a profound anxiety response in you? Or do you have flashbacks? Or do you experience an onset of extreme anxiety or anger which appears to come out of nowhere?
For profound anxiety, if you feel your fear (or your response to it) is excessive or unreasonable you may try to find ways to avoid the situation. Or you may just feel really anxious about it beforehand and experience it with dread if you have to.
Often, people look for treatments for phobias or trauma, including PTSD, because the profound anxiety or anger response really interferes with their life or experience either generally or at particular times.
There are well known methods, using a state of light relaxation through guided imagery, for allowing you to take the emotional charge out of the triggering situation. This is extremely effective in helping those suffering from trauma as well as things like flashbacks, fear of flying, claustrophobia, needles, operations and insects. What's more, there is no need to go into the details of any past experiences for this to be effective.
The effect is to translate the memory of the triggering experience to a narrative memory. In other words into a memory which no longer then triggers the intensity of emotion. You can then just get on with your life without that emotional interference.
These methods are straightforward and generally get results quickly, putting you back in control.
