This apparently simple act, like drinking a glass of water, often requires several operations , most of which are unconscious, of our nervous system. It requires several muscular movements , from eye movements in search of the place where the water and the glass are, to the movements of the arms and legs to approach the water, pour it into a glass, which we have previously searched for. Until we finally bring the glass of water to our lips, we turn our wrist and let the water enter our mouth at a speed that allows us to drink and swallow. Only these movements require coordination and dexterity so that the glass is filled to a height that allows it to be moved without spilling the water, so that the glass approaches the mouth and rests on the lips, without colliding and without the water spilling. . I have to coordinate and regulate the movement of the glass, the water enters the mouth and can be swallowed, without spilling over the sides of the mouth and without the water falling down the neck instead of drinking it. The coordination of these movements is the result of experience and of testing and correcting until they are "stored in our memory" as automated behaviors, which we carry out in very short times. Internal behaviors and external behaviors:Most of these movements can be observed by someone who is with us and respond to what in Neuro-linguistic Programming we call "external behavior" , however, we still carry out more operations at the level of "internal behavior" . It is possible that before going to get a glass of water we feel a sensation of dryness in the throat that indicates that we are thirsty. In some cases it is possible that we “imagine” a glass of water or the bottle of water, as well as the place where they are, to be able to go and look for them. It can also happen that we say to ourselves, in the form of internal dialogue, "I am very thirsty" or "where is the glass that I left here yesterday?" or "the water bottle is empty and I don't know if there are more bottles in the closet, I have to go look" ...
We call all these operations of "our external behavior and our internal behavior" in NLP "strategies" . And understanding our strategies is essential to teach them to other people and correct and improve them, if at any given moment they are not useful to achieve our objectives. In order to understand a NLP strategy, we divide it into steps, which normally correspond to images that we see, remember or create, words or phrases that we say or think, and imagined or implemented movements to relate to the environment and search for what we need to achieve our goals. When we are facing a challenge, an important goal in our life or we need a quick response, in an emergency situation. The difference between a good strategy and a "not useful" one can be simply to visualize the image of having already achieved our goal, to have a creative and motivating internal dialogue automated, and to be able to "design" a sequence of steps that we can carry out. practice easily. Understanding the sequence of a strategy is something that is NLP Training, and it is not only useful, but also very interesting to facilitate learning processes and evolutionary adaptation.

If negative emotions lead you to eat unhealthy foods or binge, it seems clear that you have to work with those emotions . For this, the most accepted approach is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which focuses on working with inappropriate thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Some lines of work from this approach would be the following:
CBT is effective in reducing binge eating disorder and bingeing, and improving mood. The Evidence-Based Practice Guidelines recommend CBT as the first level of action, which even works in a self-help format. The prognosis is especially good if there is no overweight and associated psychological problems . In cases where CBT does not work well, the best option of the currently available treatments would be Interpersonal Therapy (IT) , which will focus above all on improving the person's interpersonal relationships. It should be borne in mind that neither CBT nor TIP have weight reduction as their main objective, so no significant reduction is achieved. When there is such a goal in cases of overweight or obesity, the first thing is to control compulsive eating with the above strategies . And once that goal is achieved, in addition to improving emotional health, it should include improving eating habits and regular physical exercise. Just a few notes on these last two lines of action, since overweight and obesity are complex issues that need another input. Regarding nutritional education aimed at optimizing your eating habits, keep in mind that:It is recommended to vary the diet, since if we eat the same thing every day, the dopamine signals that activate the pleasure when eating are weakened , which increases the risk that our brain seeks to satisfy itself by resorting to foods with a higher sweet content. If the diet is varied, the new sensations that the food provides are easier to activate the reward system.
It is important not to have forbidden foods or to eat very restrictive diets. Remember that this increases the levels of desire for said food, increasing the probability of losing control at a time of emotional distress. It is clear that our diet must be based on healthy foods, but indulging in a sweet treat in an eventual and balanced way is much less harmful than setting the unfulfilled goal of never eating such a thing again , since it increases the risk of abuse of such foods. Regarding exercise, there are studies that show that people who exercise tend to try to reduce their weight with exercise, while sedentary people often resort to low-calorie diets . Remember that dieting increases the chances that you will end up eating what you do not want. Exercise, beyond helping to control weight, is an essential health habit that carries immutable benefits for physical and psychological health.

I offer telephone consults lasting approximately 15 minutes to enable you to have any questions answered about the services we provide. A year ago, the WHO (World Health Organization) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In 365 days a lot of unusual things have happened. Care and rules that were not part of the imaginary were incorporated into daily life . Human relationships were transformed into something different, from then on the links are maintained with other means. Many professions have been valued and it was revealed how vulnerable human beings are. But ... has the importance of mental health been taken into account? The subjects are made up of a physical and mental apparatus that work in a complementary way. It is necessary to attend to both in order to be in good condition and thus face destabilizing events like this one . Anxiety problems in the pandemic monthsPsychoanalysis states that the subject is psychic and social; he enters the world through a family that welcomes him, protects him and gives him the keys to inhabit life. Therefore, the subject needs others to be able to live, develop, grow, exchange. Taking into account the above and the current state of semi-confinement or mobility and the possibility of restricted encounters (and with a year in tow of these limitations), it is clear that anxiety states are multiplying . Two issues must be addressed: on the one hand, loneliness as an unsatisfactory situation, although almost obligatory in some circumstances; and the coarctation of ties (meetings, encounters, etc.). Both issues trigger scenarios that must be managed in order not to get sick. It should be noted that stress reduction is a perfect ally for the preservation of our health. Anxiety states subject the body to lower defenses and make it more sensitive to physical illnesses . Therefore, it is essential to have a state of mind that supports the immune system. With psychoanalysis it is possible to work on this path, producing a new subject that divests itself of those issues that cause discomfort, modifying words, phrases, mechanisms. There is a global reality in the world of 2021 that cannot be managed at the individual level, it is larger than the subject. However, a change can occur in each one that will have an effective impact on that reality . And that is the only way for that reality to change, by modifying the positioning itself. Waiting for the “storm to pass” is the least productive idea. Each one chooses which path to take and all are valid, the question will be given by the desire that commands, by the overdetermination of each one. They are all ways of enjoying and, although it often sounds contradictory or difficult to understand, in suffering (in the symptom, anxiety, phobia, etc.) there is also enjoyment. Nothing really is wasted, but something more or less healthy for you is done. A product (health) or another (symptom) is generated; all are ways to resolve a psychic conflict. Now, if you wait for "everything to pass" to resume "life" you miss the opportunity to discover things to do , new things to learn, new ways of doing. The opportunity to add a way of enjoyment is being missed, and the pain for this lost time can lead to illness. Defense mechanisms of displeasurePain and fear are defense mechanisms that human beings have in dangerous situations; Likewise, without a certain anguish, desire is not achieved . That's why you have to put anxiety to work.
The key will be to become the subject of your own life instead of a spectator, to take that leap. That is the only change that can be made, modify the position. Transforming the psychic reality will be the one that allows modifying the material reality. It is about learning to substitute, knowing how to add, adding ways of doing and not fighting with this situation (which we cannot control beyond ourselves). The best way to do this work and to achieve a healthy mental health, which allows to unfold the full potential of the subject by putting himself in control of his life, will be to psychoanalyze himself. Through an element as fundamental as analytical listening, the subject will be able to decompress those words said to whom they do not correspond, those shouting silences and will be able to speak with whom it is necessary to speak. Currently the need to feel heard is the most urgent demand . The problem is that many times you talk to the wrong person. In consultation with a Adelaide hypnosis, the patient feels listened to without prejudice, without judgment. You know that the analyst will not take sides or tell you what to do or not do. And that is why, because the analyst is neither scared, nor impatient, nor upset, that the patient will be able to speak to him freely about whatever he wants. From the moment the patient can put words to what happens to him, he begins to improve. Because words build the subject , it is traversed by them. If he cannot speak, if he cannot put into words what is distressing, he will make him ill. To speak is to begin to heal. Perhaps that of hypnosis sounds like a show to you, surely the idea you have of it is the one that movies and television offer us, but today time hypnosis is a psychological technique that professional recognition in the field of health , for its effectiveness and for being scientifically validated. At present, hypnosis is used to treat numerous pathologies of a psychological nature and to induce stable changes in behavior. It is a technique that works directly on the unconscious, on problems that do not come to consciousness, but that condition our state of mind and even affect decision-making. This time we are going to delve into how to control anxiety and solve the unconscious conflicts that originate it through hypnosis When is hypnosis effective to control anxiety?In general, hypnosis is very useful to control anxiety, since the same hypnotic trance state is in itself very relaxing. Normally the psychologist, in addition to working in consultation with hypnosis, will make a self-hypnosis recording or teach the patient the technique, to reinforce the results achieved in the hypnosis sessions and provide the person with a self-help tool, in this way, a Once the therapy is finished, self-hypnosis will be a resource that will be available to control anxiety or stress. When anxiety is caused by conflicts that have not come to light, but are kept in the shadows of the unconscious, hypnosis is especially useful to discover and solve those internal conflicts, since it resolves from the origin the causes that were producing the anxiety symptoms. Hypnosis for Anxiety: A Look at the ResearchFor years psychologists have been concerned with scientifically evaluating the effectiveness of hypnosis in treating anxiety. For example, a study dating back to 1976 compared the effectiveness of hypnosis with systematic desensitization. The experiment worked with 36 students who showed unusually high levels of anxiety before tests. Thus, it could be seen that hypnosis was much more effective in controlling anxiety than the classic systematic desensitization technique. Decades later, Australian psychologists re-evaluated the effectiveness of hypnosis for treating test anxiety. However, this time the sample was larger since they recruited 94 students. What was interesting was that just four sessions of hypnosis were enough to significantly reduce anxiety symptoms. Hypnosis, combined with relaxation techniques, has also been shown to be a very effective treatment for neurogenic disorders. In fact , different investigations maintain that hypnosis is an ideal technique to reduce the anxiety that serious diseases usually cause and reduce the pain that these cause. In a study conducted at the University of Sunderland, in the United Kingdom, the effectiveness of hypnosis was compared with cognitive-behavioral techniques to relieve pain and anxiety caused by cancer. These psychologists appreciated that both techniques were effective in reducing pain, but people who underwent hypnosis also reported a significant decrease in their anxiety levels. After taking a look at the scientific literature, there is no doubt that hypnosis is a relatively quick and safe treatment to overcome anxiety and its associated symptoms, such as irritability, anxiety, migraine headaches and insomnia. How fast does hypnosis work to control anxiety?In a general sense, hypnosis is usually faster than other psychological techniques, especially when it comes to controlling anxiety . However, we cannot claim to act immediately. After a session, the person usually feels an improvement in their mood, but for the changes to settle, a minimum of twelve sessions are needed. The length of treatment will depend on the severity of the symptoms, how long the person has been with the problem, external support, and the person's receptivity to hypnosis. You must bear in mind that during hypnosis what the psychologist does is send suggestions to the unconscious, so it takes a little time until these are consolidated and give way to stable improvement. As a general rule, we can say that by including hypnosis in the psychological treatment to control and combat anxiety, we reduce the number of sessions required by half. Choose a hypnosis professional or a psychologist?The answer is clear: to carry out a treatment with clinical hypnosis in order to control anxiety, we must look for a psychologist trained in hypnosis.
It is important to note that hypnosis is a technique, not a therapy, that is, it is a tool that must be used in a broader therapeutic framework, and that whenever its use is aimed at treating a psychological problem, it will be a psychologist or a psychiatrist whoever is qualified to use it. It is one thing to use Adelaide Anxiety hypnosis to increase motivation, for example, in which case even the person himself can perform self-hypnosis, and quite another to use hypnosis in isolation for anxiety, since in the latter case we are talking about a psychological disorder that requires specialized attention by mental health professionals, who have in-depth knowledge of psychopathology, and will use hypnosis, but will also carry out other types of interventions framed within the psychotherapeutic framework.
