Symptoms of Anxiety Most people have more anxiety symptoms than they will
acknowledge. Fortunately, most of the symptoms are short-lived; meaning,
they'll go away quickly, or when the triggering situation changes. But
for some, the symptoms linger, even after the event passes. For some, the
symptoms get stronger, or even if they have some clear event that sets
the symptoms in motion, the symptoms are still too strong to handle. Its
at this point that most people start thinking there is something else
going on. We start to ask questions that focus our attention on some the
symptoms of anxiety, which are: Apprehension, tension, uneasiness,
anticipation of danger, motor tension, autonomic hyperactivity, fears,
preoccupations, repetitive thoughts Vigilance, scanning, avoidance of
situations or things, panic sensations, heart palpitations, sweaty palms,
rapid breathing, rigid or repetitive behaviors Would you believe there
are over thirty-three such symptoms? The above is only a partial list.
What most people need is a all-inclusive list of All the symptoms, then a
systematic way of asking the right questions. But it takes lots of years
of instruction to get this right so most people start thinking about
seeing a therapist. This is costly. So, I wrote an ebook that does this
for you. Hello, I've been a psychologist in private practice for over
twenty years. I run into eight conditions every day, anxiety being just
one. People call or come in with their list of symptoms, how often they
have them, how "difficult" are their experiences, their histories of
anxiety and/or depression, substance use, alcohol use, recent stressors,
relationship problems that anxiety creates (and vice versa), loss of
function secondary to anxiety, and on and on. In each session, I ask a
well researched set of clinical questions that takes most of the hour,
then have people rate their symptoms in some key areas, then chart their
responses on one of three graphs. Right away they know if they have made
the right choice in coming to a therapist. Most people need some
instruction and a path to follow to make this decision, but some, after
following my procedures, discover their anxiety is different, not severe
enough, etc., and that they don't need me. If they had read my ebook
first, they could have saved themselves the cost of a therapy session.
But if there is a need, this progression brings it right to the surface,
and the work starts. The next part of the ebook covers what we need to
consider to start to get to the bottom of the mystery of anxiety. I write
a lot about what things make it worse. The best part of my ebook is the
section describing how and why we get anxious in the first place,
particularly how anxiety "gets started" and starts to amp up, chronically
or acutely. This is something that is distinctive to everyone, so I cover
lots of examples but mostly focus on the dynamics common to us all.
Lastly, there are lots of techniques to anxiety, and I give you four
subjective ones that anyone can use. These knock down the majority of
anxiety symptoms for most. There are others who need actual therapy to
fix this last part, and that's where I have to stop, because any book
can't "do" therapy. But I took readers right up to that point, so most of
what I wrote works without a therapist. If you need a therapist, this
ebook will show you exactly for what symptoms and where you "stand"
compared to the rest of us. You can make a very intelligent decision at
that point.-Dr.
