About the Author My name is Bee Bennett and I’m a senior psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist. In the UK, where I trained in clinical hypnotherapy, the program of study includes a great deal of knowledge about thinking patterns, brain functioning and body chemistry, all of which have a strong impact on your anxiety levels and, happily, all of which you can change with a little help. I also trained to Master and Trainer level in something called ‘Ethical NLP’ (Neuro Linguistic Patterning) which is often dubbed “the user’s manual for the brain”. These studies have enabled me to gain a large amount of knowledge and insight into techniques that are proven to combat general anxiety disorder and many hundreds of my patients who have used these methods are now living much happier and healthier lives.

Introduction

Welcome and congratulations. You have taken an important step toward feeling calmer and happier and freeing yourself from the life-limiting effect that anxiety has on you and those closest to you.

Perhaps you are reading this book to improve your own life or perhaps it’s because you want to help a loved one to improve their feelings of well-being. Whichever category you’re in, the information that follows is sure to assist you with new insights and a better understanding of anxiety and what we can do to take control of it – without resorting to drugs.

When we are very anxious we often find it difficult to concentrate so if you find yourself struggling to understand any part of this book, please just skip that bit and read on. You can choose which chapters you want to focus on in the beginning but I would highly recommend that you eventually return to read and apply all the information here.

These tips, exercises and understandings will change your life and offer a new era of freedom from fear.

Once you’ve mastered these techniques they will become second nature and you’ll wonder why you were ever so anxious in the first place. You’ll be able to socialise without fear, speak up for yourself, enjoy your own company, smile and laugh more often. You’ll sleep peacefully and wake up looking forward to the day ahead. You will have gained more self confidence and peace of mind.

You have the power to transform your situation. Use all your determination to change and practice what you learn here and life really can and will improve for you. I can truly make that promise because these methods have worked for hundreds of other anxiety sufferers, just like you.

As one patient wrote to me recently...

Thank you very much for helping me put one foot in front of the other again. I never expected life could be this good. I had a phone call from a patient’s wife who sobbed At last I’ve got my husband back and our little girl can get to know her father – her real father – the way he used to be. He’s been gone a long time.

Please find yourself a decent sized notebook as I’ll be asking you to write answers to questions and other information that you’ll need as you delve further.

LESSON 7 – Lapse, Relapse and Collapse

Definition of Anxiety

Everyone has stressful times now and then when something’s going on that they just can’t handle but they eventually get over it and that feeling fades away and life goes on as normal. This is very a natural and normal part of being human.

If you are currently struggling with a Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) however, you may find yourself persistently worrying about everything and anything. Even if the logical part of your brain is telling you that you are being silly or over reacting, you still go on worrying.

This internal battle might have caused you to start thinking you were inadequate in some way; it might frighten you; you may fear that it will get out of control or that you’ll get sick; it may prevent you from functioning at work or at home.

I’m here to help you to take responsibility for clearing your anxiety, to leave behind that spiral of fearful thoughts and to get you back onto an even keel.
