Helping Social Anxiety... in the Workplace
Several days ago i arranged a session with a young lady who had been experiencing difficulties with anxiety at work. She had been to see numerous people regarding this problem and was coming towards the end of a block of counselling.
Her main 'presenting problem' was experiencing panic and anxiety when faced with the prospect of meeting any new person. Which, given her job role, was something that she would encounter sometimes several times a day...
As a result, you can imagine how much distress this was causing this lady on a day to day basis.
We began our session, where I explained how the mind works from a Body Mind Worker perspective.
I highlighted a few ways that an individual may cause some themselves some problems in terms of the questions they ask and the language they use when they are talking internally to themselves.
Each of these were met with a wry smile, and then on further questioning she said.. 'I do ALL of them - EVERYDAY!'
So I suggested a few easy to manage tweaks in language based on the Hudson Mind Process and introduced her to her 'screen'.
After some more chatting and a few chuckles, I began helping her engage with her own screen, and when discussing her 'presenting problem', she always seemed to access 'the same spot' on screen.
The literature would suggest that she was accessing something called an 'Emotional Memory Image'.
As the work we do in a session is content free, she had not needed to explain any stories, she had not needed to share any personal information, all I had to do was guide her through the process and help her get back in charge of her vehicle.
When accessing this Emotional Memory Image, she immediately began to feel all the symptoms she had came to see me for. So we could be confident that whatever this thing on screen was, it had a neurological connection to all of her symptoms.
In this case, she just described that she had some colourful, busy, and bright moving images. Any time she accessed those images, she would experience the symptoms of her presenting problem...
FASCINATING!
After another 10 minutes of adjusting and upgrading her screen. The image was no longer there, and her screen was clear.
With the clearing of her screen, so disappeared all of her symptoms.
Despite trying her hardest, she was unable to reproduce any feelings of anxiety, and believe me she tried!
What was even more interesting was that the harder she tried to access those old feelings, all she could do now is chuckle in a confused but comfortable way... That was certainly a new response!!!
We finished the session there, with her not being able to access any feelings of anxiety, and not a single personal detail had been shared. Wonderful.
Her feedback later was...
"Had a brilliant, eye opening session with Danny Greeves about the subconscious mind. Highly recommend him for anyone dealing with anxiety".
On a different note, she has now finished counselling and is embarking on a new chapter of her life.
A Body Mind Worker session is designed to help you understand how your mind works, how you can harness its power and how you can really put yourself back in the driving seat of your vehicle. It is content free, and allows you to work on the things you wish you could change, but just aren't quite sure how to.
There really is a better way...
