How to Cure Anxiety Disorders Completely

Extreme nervousness and apprehension, excessive worrying and obsessive thoughts,
compulsive behaviours, anxiety attacks and panic attacks, irrational fears and
phobias, even severe depression - are all based on anxiety and fear.

Millions of people spend a lifetime searching for the answer to these problems. Many
undergo therapy or take medication for years, often with little success.

They can seem impossible to deal with and make us feel that we'll never be free
... but it doesn't have to be like this.

With the right knowledge it is possible to cure all these problems completely.

There is one way to truly overcome anxiety and fear, here it is:-

1. Grade things that cause you anxiety on a scale from 1-10 (more if you need to).

    10 = situations / circumstances / compulsions / thoughts / tasks etc. that
    cause only very mild anxiety. 1 = the most terrifying.

2. Start with number 10.

    Feel the anxiety, let it happen and control it by accepting it and relaxing.
    Note that here it is very important that you actually have anxiety, feel it and
    feel yourself control it. The goal is not to be anxiety free, everyone has anxiety
    but for some of us we have become more sensitive to it (for reasons you will
    discover later).

    The aim is to experience a small amount of anxiety at the lowest level and learn
    that we can control it. To feel ourselves control it.

3. Move to level 9.

    Do the same as before. Feel the anxiety and feel yourself controlling it.

4. Gradually move up through the levels.

    Only move to the next level when you have mastered taking control at each level.
    Remember, nobody in this world has no anxiety - it is part of being human. Taking
    control is feeling scared but remaining calm, not letting it progress to panic.

This is no magic method or trick. It is based on how we work as humans - how
everybody develops confidence naturally --

Picture a young child, full of apprehension, approaching the (big, scary) ocean for
the first time. First they let the water cover their feet; then, when they feel more
confident they move deeper, up to their knees. As confidence grows, they move up
to their waist ... and so on.

We are doing nothing more. In the above we are simply breaking huge fears into
smaller manageable parts and growing confident step-by-step.

In psychology, this is known as systematic desensitisation and using it, a good
psychologist can often cure someone with a specific phobia in a matter of hours.
- It's possible to take a spider phobic from being petrified of looking at pictures of
spiders to being able to allow big hairy (but harmless) spiders crawl over their hands.
It is this successful because it utilizes the very way we work as humans in becoming confident.
Indeed, systematic desensitization is one of the methods employed in Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - the most successful method to date for helping people
deal with anxiety disorders and depression.

When we truly understand what's happening in the mind and body with anxiety-
related problems there is much more that we can do:-

• There are ways to deal with increased, more frequent anxiety. Natural ways to
cure anxious thoughts, 'thinking too much' and the physical symptoms, such as:
sweating, shaking, trembling, fast heartbeat and breathing, and feeling 'jittery' and
'on edge'. Utilising what is going on in our mind and body to reverse these symptoms
so that they weaken and fade away.

• There are even things we can do that don't involve facing our fears at all at the
beginning. These actually generate deep inner positive feelings. Anyone can do
them, almost anytime and they cannot fail to make us feel stronger and more
confident. In fact, we really should do this before attempting to face our fears
(even the very mild stages) so that we start from a position of strength.

All the above can help to change our life from one lived in anxiety and fear to one
of self-confidence.

However, there is one more thing, the most important thing of all. It's the reason
that many people spend a lifetime with these problems and the reason why CBT,
although the best method by far, one that can significantly help anxiety problems,
is very rarely a full cure (except for simple phobias).

... BELIEF ...

What we believe about our problem, what caused it and why we have it

... our belief about 'what is wrong with me'.

A New Understanding of Anxiety Disorders and Depression

Current explanations of the cause and cure of problems involving such things as:
extreme nervouseness, high anxiety and panic; obsessive thinking and compulsive
behaviour; phobias, worry and depression have failed millions of people looking to
understand and overcome these problems. Beliefs about illness / medical / genetic
causes, and treatments based upon these beliefs have helped very few people to
really cure them.

They just don't seem to touch the real 'deep-down' cause.

But there is a better way to understand these problems
... one that offers a real cure.

Evolving Self Confidence - the new book from Help-For - offers a unique insight
into the cause and cure of these problems, going far beyond anxiety and panic, fear
and phobias, OCD and depression to reveal what lies at the very heart of them.

It shows how negative life experiences and the way they make us think and feel,
can combine with deep-down survival instincts to cause excessive and intangible
anxiety. And how, from this, a myriad of problems and disorders (incl. depression)
can develop.

Far from being: mental or physical (brain) illness; caused by genetics or chemical
imbalances in the brain; you'll discover that these problems shouldn't really be called
disorders at all (our mind and body are totally ordered in what they are trying to do)
and they certainly aren't irrational - they develop for the most rational reason there
will ever be ... for our self-protection.
Every single person on the planet (indeed every animal) can develop excessive
anxiety, for it lies within us all. It is a part of how the mind and body works and it
only takes a certain combination of experiences to bring it out.

Based on over thirty years experience and research involving Agoraphobia and
Social Phobia, OCD and Depression, Psychoanalytic and Behaviour Therapy,
Relaxation and Hypnotherapy, Evolving Self Confidence can help you to:-

• Understand exactly where your problem came from and how it developed

• Know what it is doing to your mind and body and why

• Use how these problems work and how we work as humans to:-

    • Feel stronger and more positive

    • Weaken and stop anxious thoughts and feelings

    • Turn anxiety and fear into confidence

    • Develop strong, deep feelings of goodness and positive self-belief.

It can totally change what you think about your problem; give you a more positive
attitude about your worth as a person, your strength and capability, and show you
the way to bring about permanent change.
