Yay! Exams are finished and it's time to switch off, relax and have a good time for the Summer. Or is it? For some students the time between the end…
It was October 2019 when I first noticed that we had a problem ( I often ask myself why I hadn't seen the signs earlier, and remind myself that it doesn't matter) and since then we have fought "Damien" (our name for it) and Won!
This is an area that I have successfully helped many to children overcome. Together, with parents too, we understand the brain and work with it to allow the changes to be made.
It is not necessarily the events in our lives that cause the anxiety, but the way we think about them which cause the problem. Anxiety can occur when we think negatively about the past, present or future. We can feel out of control and no longer ourselves, which is when our ability to enjoy life is then hindered.
In every initial consultation, I explain the theory behind how our brains work. Understanding how our brains respond to different situations, is often the ‘light bulb’ moment when everything falls into place and change can be made.
I hope that in sharing this I can offer reassurance and some understanding of why we maybe feeling more anxious during these uncertain times, and to encourage you if you are able, to focus on the things that you enjoy and that are within your control.
I don't know about you but there appears to be a great deal of irrational (mindless) behaviour being demonstrated at the moment. I didn't plan to mention Coronavirus but even when I googled the word "panic" in search of images for this blog the top line had Coronavirus. It's everywhere at the moment and it's a problem.
