Night Terrors and Anxiety

“I was referred to Jean by someone she mentors in the EC/BC (Emotion Code/Body Code) program and it was a true blessing. She worked with both my children ages 4 and 11. The 4 year old was suffering from night terrors and the 11 year old from anxiety. After about two sessions my 4 year old was free of night terrors and I see a huge difference the attitude and overall outlook on life for my 11 year old. We had countless hours of therapy in the prior year and nothing compared to the difference I saw after the first few sessions with Jean. I highly recommend her and this modality of healing for anyone that is looking.” ~ S.K. from Northern Virginia

Both these kids were absolutely adorable! We did Skype sessions so I actually saw the children during each session even though we were in different locations. The 11 year old is like a different person than the one I saw initially – confident, happy, just experiencing life like other 11-year-olds! Such great stuff. 🙂

What are Emotions?

Emotions come from a combination of forces – your thoughts, your evaluation of how much something matches your ideal, physical input from your body, and your actions.

Emotions begin in your brain, where they stimulate physical reactions that start an evaluation process. You judge a situation (or whatever is causing a certain feeling) by how much it matches your ideal. The closer it is to optimal, the more favorable your emotions.

Your body also creates physical responses to emotions.  When you are scared or surprised, your body may trigger a ‘flight or fight’ response.  Your heart races and you may feel flushed. These signals come from deep within your brain, where your mind is trying to protect you from danger and is preparing your body to respond to threats.  

As you experience certain situations repeatedly, your body makes the determination that certain responses are appropriate, and these physical responses become ingrained.  The more often you experience a certain situation, the more ingrained your response may become.   And you may create an expectation of an outcome, rather than remaining open to other possibilities.

So, emotions are not just something your brain determines, and how one person feels in a situation can be entirely different from how another person may feel.

Some of my clients come to me with issues – and ingrained responses – that are negatively impacting their life in some way.  They make judgement calls of the events and their reactions based on their past experiences. 

Sometimes these determinations don’t necessarily line up with my outsider’s view of events and logical reactions. 

That’s where Energy Healing comes in.

I can’t tell you the number of times I hear at the end of a session: 

  • “I feel so much lighter!”
  • “I’m doing really good on the inside!”
  • “More of that happiness is coming up!”
  • “This is so weird – I don’t feel anxious at all!”
  • “Inner calm is filling me up.”
  • “I’m feeling so much better – I feel like I’m back in my body and not just in my head.”
  • “Of all the things I’ve tried, this is what works best for me.”
  • “This is so focused on working through RIGHT NOW.  I always feel different after our calls.”

Is that something you’d like to experience for yourself?  I’m here when you’re ready.

Natural Treatment Methods for Anxiety

Many people who struggle with anxiety turn to prescription medications for treatment, which in some cases can cause even worse side effects or significant dangers to a person’s health. This is one of the reasons so many people are turning to natural treatment methods to help with anxiety issues that are causing problems in their lives.

What Is Natural Treatment?

Natural treatment is simply treatment without chemicals. This can be non-medical treatments or natural supplements or even a mix of both.

No matter what method you choose, be sure to consult your physician and to take any advice or treatments he recommends seriously. But you can also add alternative natural treatments for a more holistic approach to your anxiety care.

Alternative Natural And Non-Medical Treatment Options

There are many non-medical treatments for anxiety that you can use each day to help get your anxiety under control.  Non-medical treatments are for people who are willing to commit themselves to a treatment that is not chemical based.

  • Regular exercise will allow your body to release “feel good” hormones. This is a great non-medical treatment for those who are suffering from anxiety, because you can create a routine where you exercise each day.  But you can also use exercise to help when you have unexpected moments of anxiety.  This will help your body to become healthier, and a healthy body can deal with anxiety more easily than an unhealthy body.
  • Sound therapy is another form of non-medical treatment that can be used for anxiety.  This is a new discovery that science is using to treat many things including depression and anxiety. The way sound therapy works is that the person listens to high frequency sounds, and these sounds stimulate the brain and recharge it.  Sound therapy has been found to create a permanent state of peace and relaxation in some patents.

Herbal Supplements

There are many herbal supplements that can be used to alleviate your anxiety.  These can be used as an alternative treatment to prescription medications but should never be mixed with prescriptions without first talking to your health care provider.  You should never stop taking prescription medications unless directed by your physician, and should only alter the dosage under your doctor’s care.

  • St. Johns Wart is the most popular herbal supplement for anxiety, and is the most reliable.  It also contains a sedative that can help you sleep.  It is best to take St. Johns Wart with your evening meal or right before you go to bed.
  • Kava is another herbal supplement that is used for mild to moderate anxiety.  Unlike St. Johns Wart, Kava does not contain a sedative.  You should be very careful when taking Kava because it can affect the liver.  It is recommended that you not drink any alcohol when taking using Kava.  It is also known to interact with anti-psychotics, so you should speak to your doctor before taking Kava.

Learning How to Handle Stress

Learning how to handle stress is another way you can naturally treat your anxiety.  One of the ways you can do this is by keeping a daily journal.  Here you will be able to write down all of your feelings, talk about the things that are causing you anxiety, determine if there is anything you can do to change the situation, and create an action plan for changing the situation.

Listening to positive affirmations is another way some people handle anxiety.  Positive affirmations teach your brain to think in a new way and after you have listened to them for a while you will find that when you are becoming overwhelmed by anxiety they will automatically play themselves over and over in your mind.

Putting It All Together

Now is the time that you should put everything you have learned together.  If you want to alleviate your anxiety naturally, it is not enough just to exercise or just to take a supplement.  You have to put all of the techniques together. Taking a supplement while creating an exercise routine, eating right, and learning to manage your stress is the best way for you to naturally cure your anxiety.

The Missing Piece

Finding the root cause of the anxiety might have eluded you in the past. But now you’ve found the way to explore the cause and rip it out by the root. Are you ready to live your best life?
