Defining anxiety
Anxiety = a unpleasant mood disorder and feeling that is triggered by an often unidentifiable stimulus which then results in uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry.
Understanding anxiety
Anxiety is often a future-oriented mood state in which a person is ready or prepared to attempt to cope with upcoming negative events or tasks. Anxiety is generally considered to be a somewhat normal reaction to stress related illness. However, anxiety is a mostly unhealthy reaction or coping mechanism a person uses to a person initiates to deal with a difficult situations and upcoming events. When anxiety becomes excessive, it may fall under the classification of an acute anxiety disorder.
Symptoms and indicators of anxiety include: Excessive, ongoing worry and tension, an unrealistic view of a problem, feeling "edgy", being easily startled, trouble falling or staying asleep, nausea, headaches, panic attacks, tiredness and headaches.
What the experts say
The Anti Depression Association of Australia (ADAA), via an interview with Wayne Parrott provides a fresh look at anxiety:
“When you are experiencing anxiety, the real work needed to reduce it for the long term is not done by changing how you feel. This is a temporary solution at best. The real work is done by changing the root cause of that emotional response. Those who suffer from anxiety must look beyond the effects, and go back to the cause. Skilled practitioners can help show you how.”*
Solutions at Fountainhead Retreat
Reducing anxiety is our specialty. Our trained Life Coaches and mentors are experts in helping you pinpoint which are the beliefs that trigger your anxiety. This anxiety reducing process begins by learning techniques for observing an emotion resulting after anxiety is activated.
We teach that trying to stop a painful emotion, at best, only achieves a temporary fix. You might get through the moment or even the hour. However, when you are in a similar situation again, the same beliefs will be activated again and the same emotional responses will occur. The Fountainhead Method teaches you simple ways to halt, alter and even reverse this pattern.
It is important to note, changing the belief that causes anxiety driven emotions such as anger or blame, does not mean you will never experience these again. What it will change however is the time you spend in that painful emotion. Your emotions are teaching you that there is more to learn. The Fountainhead Method teaches you what to do with this new found knowledge in ways that makes your anxiety disappear.
