[10 30 20:03:31] [Carl's Chat] gemstone: carl, my question is.......can your techiques help with health anxiety?
[10 30 20:04:07] [Carl's Chat] carldourish: Depends really on the issue of what health anxiety?
[10 30 20:04:41] [Carl's Chat] nomorepanic: gem - u can reply to that if u wish
[10 30 20:05:04] [Carl's Chat] gemstone: not imagining illnesses, but worry about existing health issues causing massive anxiety getting in the way of everyday life
[10 30 20:06:39] [Carl's Chat] carldourish: existing health issues, will effect any person, even those without suffering from anxiety. It depends on what you class as massive?
[10 30 20:07:38] [Carl's Chat] gemstone: unable to concentrate on anything else, and leading to lack of hope and depression.....pretty big anxiety really.
[10 30 20:07:39] [Carl's Chat] carldourish: what have you done in the past to stop you feeling like this?
[10 30 20:08:27] [Carl's Chat] gemstone: tried to reassure myself, sought reassurance from partner, tried to gain more medical information...stuff like that really
[10 30 20:09:02] [Carl's Chat] gemstone: also tried to distract myself by replacing the worry with other thought,.......sometimes helps, but still struggling
[10 30 20:09:33] [Carl's Chat] gemstone: still leads to anxiety and a sense of giving up
[10 30 20:09:40] [Carl's Chat] carldourish: Look at it in a different way, you say you are unable to concentrate on anything,but you are able to concentrate on anxiety.
[10 30 20:10:03] [Carl's Chat] gemstone: yes, can always concentrate on anxiety :(
[10 30 20:10:52] [Carl's Chat] nomorepanic: maybe if i let a few more questions come through - all asking the same sort of thing
[10 30 20:10:56] [Carl's Chat] carldourish: You have a part of you that is able to concentrate on anxiety, what would a part feel like if it didn't?
[10 30 20:11:38] [Carl's Chat] gemstone: not sure what you mean, carl
[10 30 20:11:43] [Carl's Chat] laney: Basically im not all up on this so id like to know what it is all about im trying to help a friend well a bf lol and want to know what all this is about
[10 30 20:11:44] [Carl's Chat] kazzie: so carl can you explain how it works please??
[10 30 20:11:48] [Carl's Chat] jacsta: is there any kind of overview into what carls techniques do?
[10 30 20:11:49] [Carl's Chat] RossInBristol: Carl, I know its difficult to explain briefly, but how do your techniques differ to others available, and how may they benefit Anxiety and Phobias sufferers in a way that others cannot?
[10 30 20:11:54] [Carl's Chat] nomorepanic: ok all similar things there
[10 30 20:14:54] [Carl's Chat] carldourish: O.K. when you think of your situtation, your unconscious is making movies in your mind. It's how you view these movies effect how you feel. My techniques are no different to other NLP & EFT Technique.
[10 30 20:15:39] [Carl's Chat] RossInBristol: OK, so what is the primary key in changing the way we view these 'movies'?
[10 30 20:15:51] [Carl's Chat] kazzie: so how should we view the movies??
[10 30 20:15:54] [Carl's Chat] RossInBristol: or indeed change the context of these 'movies'?
[10 30 20:16:48] [Carl's Chat] carldourish: This will be hard to explain in text, but think of a situation now?
[10 30 20:17:12] [Carl's Chat] jacsta: so basically you have to really try to play your thoughts in slow motion instead of fast forward when you get anxious?
[10 30 20:17:13] [Carl's Chat] jacsta: then you have to analyse it and see the logic in it?
[10 30 20:17:25] [Carl's Chat] kazzie: ok i open my front door and im too scared to leave the house
[10 30 20:17:46] [Carl's Chat] darkangel: is it a case of watching the movie but dont step into it
[10 30 20:18:44] [Carl's Chat] carldourish: Are you in the movie, really feeling what you see, hear, smell and touch.
[10 30 20:19:41] [Carl's Chat] kazzie: no i just cant walk up the garden path alone legs go to lead heart pounds etc
[10 30 20:19:58] [Carl's Chat] RossInBristol: So essentially, you are asking us to analyse the mo
