Congestive heart failure, or CHF, is one of the most commonly found chronic health problems. People who have CHF must alter their lives, sometimes resulting in anxiety and depression. Ericksonian hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques help people relax and find peace, while avoiding the negative side effects of drugs.
Congestive heart failure, or CHF, is one of the most commonly found chronic health problems in the United States. Nearly five million people suffer from this disease, and 500,000 more are diagnosed with it every year. This condition can be slightly problematic, or it can become disabling and impair daily living.
People with CHF experience many changes from their previous daily activities. They must take drugs to decrease fluid buildup and to decrease the work performed by their heart muscle. Many of these cause anxiety and exhaustion. These medicines can also hinder physical relationships with a spouse or significant other.
One other problem that persons with this disease encounter is the requirement for significant diet changes. Many must stop eating red meat, avoid meals with a lot of fats or salt, or limit the amount of fluids they drink every day. They are encouraged to lose weight and exercise to stay as healthy as they can.
Unfortunately, however, people with CHF no longer possess as much physical endurance as before. Instead, they must stand by while friends and family members play volleyball, run, or jog. This causes despair and inadequacy. Furthermore, many sufferers mourn their loss of physical strength and energy.
The majority of individuals who experience this and have not yet reached retirement age also have to stop working. In addition to creating money problems and depression, this can increase emotions of separation and loneliness. They are completely alone. Rather than of chatting with the colleague at the neighboring desk, they watch TV while their friends continue their live.
At times, people take depression or anxiety drugs to manage these losses. Alternatively, people may choose counseling or group treatment to help them with fulfilling socialization needs and working through the mourning created through their newly restricted lifestyles.
A healthier method of coping with this kind of depression, however, has achieved recent recognition and achieved almost instant approval among patients who have tried it. Furthermore, unlike drugs or psychotherapy, this approach is quite inexpensive. People can learn to use it without experiencing additional financial hardship.
This technique, which utilizes a blend of Ericksonian hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), aids individuals to learn to relax and find harmony and serenity in their daily lives. These strategies teach individuals to accept the new restrictions in their lives while guiding them to go on living life to the fullest extent that they are able. Even depression that results from medicines can be painlessly lessened through the successful use of the methods utilized by hypnotherapy and NLP. Two such strategies are anchoring and the Flash.
Ericksonian Hypnosis is typically known as conversational hypnotherapy. It offers methods for providing post-hypnotic suggestions embedded in a discussion or metaphor. The positive aspect of this method is that it removes the resistance to direct suggestions that is nearly always encountered when using more traditional types of hypnotherapy.
Through anchoring, hypnotherapists and NLP Practitioners coach clients to focus on positive thoughts and memories in which they felt calm and in control. As the individual is progressively immersed in these memories, they are able to experience these emotions once more. The person then creates a concrete anchor for these feelings by placing two fingers in contact with one another. The subconscious mind creates a link between the physical touch of the two fingers, and the positive feelings. Later, when the client encounters a stressful or upsetting moment, an anchor is triggered by placing together these same two fingers, evoking feelings of peace and calm.
The Flash method is also quite useful to people who are struggling to conquer depression. The Flash technique programs the brain to instantaneously utilize the negative thoughts that are creating anxiety and depression, as triggers for beneficial perspectives that will create calm and happiness. With practice, clients soon become nearly unable to think negative thoughts!
People with CHF often experience depression as a result of grieving the decline of their physical health and well-being. Other components that can contribute to depression include medications and financial stresses. Both Ericksonian Hypnosis and NLP provide excellent strategies for helping individuals to cope with depression without being forced to put forth huge quantities of time and money.
