I struggled with the pain of anxiety for most of my life. Fortunately, I discovered natural solutions to alleviate
anxiety. Now I have the pleasure of helping other people with anxiety to overcome it.
Anxiety disorders are the most common of emotional disorders and affect more than 25 million Americans.
Anxiety disorders differ from normal feelings of nervousness. Untreated anxiety disorders can push people
into avoiding situations that trigger or worsen their symptoms. People with anxiety disorders are likely to suffer
from depression, and they also may abuse alcohol and other drugs in an effort to gain relief from their symptoms.
Job performance, school work, and personal relationships can also suffer.
The many forms and symptoms of anxiety include:
- Overwhelming feelings of panic and fear
- Uncontrollable obsessive thoughts
- Painful, intrusive memories
- Recurring nightmares
- Physical symptoms such as feeling sick to your stomach, "butterflies" in your stomach, heart
pounding, startling easily, and muscle tension
A common type of Anxiety Disorder is Panic Disorder. The core symptom of panic disorder is the panic attack, an
overwhelming combination of physical and psychological distress. During an attack several of these symptoms occur in combination:
- Pounding heart or chest pain
- Sweating, trembling, shaking
- Shortness of breath, sensation of choking
- Nausea or abdominal pain
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Feeling unreal or disconnected
- Fear of losing control, "going crazy," or dying
- Numbness
- Chills or hot flashes
Because symptoms are so severe, many people with panic disorder believe they are having a heart attack or
other life-threatening illness.
Relief from Anxiety
You may believe that being free of anxiety is a wonderful idea that's just too good to be true. Whether you've live
a lifetime feeling anxious and scared or you have sudden panic attacks, the thought of being free of that anxiety is like
a dream that's dangling in front of you, but always just out of your reach.
Getting relief from your anxiety will take some time and effort on your part. You'll have to do some soul searching and
some house cleaning with the negative experiences of your life. Anxiety is an underlying fear of the future, a feeling of
being vulnerable, and out of control, and expecting the future to be like the past.
When you resolve your emotional pain about the past, and take back your personal power, and make the changes you need to
make in your life to make it more of what you want it to be, anxiety has a way of greatly decreasing and even falling
by the wayside. You'll discover a new sense of yourself that will excite you and amaze you. Often it feels like being a
whole new person!
When you work on releasing your anxiety issues, you'll discover that you do have power and you can choose to make your
life what you want it to be.
You don't have to spend your time shaking in your shoes, and being frightened about the future. You can take charge of
your future and make it what you want it to be.
Over the years, there have been tens of thousands of research studies showing
that lifestyle changes can help heal psychological problems.
That's why I combine psychology, naturopathy and nutrition - so the people I work with can feel better faster!
