How Harmful Is Anger For Your Body?

By Andy D Gallagher

Anger is something that can be really harmful, not only for the person you are angry at, but also for yourself. That is why there is always so much emphasis on anger management. Medical as well as psychological research has proved that no amount of eating or exercising can compensate for the damage you do to your body when you are angry.

There is a concentrated unconstructive consequence of anger on your body. Some of the corporeal signs that can be there when someone is angry comprise the grinding and clenching of teeth, muscle tension, flushing, and occasionally there may be buzzing in the ears. For the duration of time of anger, the body experiences shooting blood pressure. This cans consequence in chest pains, and also sweating, and chills. In adding up to this, there can also be harsh headaches as well as migraines.

Several people who face the trouble of chronic anger can also practice peptic ulcers, intestinal cramps, or indigestion, and constipation for the duration of anger. Excessive effects of anger on the body comprise things like heart attack, obesity, and even kidney malfunction.

Medical research tells us that anger affects directly to heart muscles. Those people, who remain angry most of the time, are more likely to become victim of heart attacks because the weak muscles do not work well to pump blood. The angriest people always have cardiac problems, and high blood pressure.

Whether it is undeveloped anger, or not, it tends to damage a person even if the ways are diverse. Long-lasting anger can have a terrible consequence on the skin. Research has shown that the people who restrain their anger on diverse occasions are probable to have skin diseases like eczema, rashes as well as acne. When it comes to skin health, the resolution of anger is the healthier way, as the skin disorders tend to recover when people determine their anger.

Besides having the evident consequences, suppressed anger also has a psychological effect. When one suppresses anger, it may lead to depression, insomnia as well as nightmares. In addition, it can also cause eating disorders and can cause addiction to drugs or alcohol. In some cases, all these symptoms can lead to self-destructive behaviour. These things can adversely affect the way people interact and relate to each other.

What happens to our body when we become angry? In anger, our body releases chemicals and hormones. Adrenaline and non-adrenaline are two hormones, which affect the body organs. Adrenaline hormones affect the sympathetic nervous system. In turn, the heart is stimulated, and coronary vessels become dilated. Due to this reason, the blood vessels, and intestines become narrow, and it affects the digestion.

In order to promote a positive thinking as well as maintain good health, it is important for people facing extreme anger issues to get help with anger management and find some creative outlet for letting out the anger so that it does not harm their health in ways that can be dangerous. - 31969

According To NLP...

By Adam Cox

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a form of psychotherapy that while not typically recognized by mainstream psychotherapy has become extremely popular with teachers, life couches and marketing and business executives. There are even several psychotherapists with private practices and many hypnotherapists who employ the methodology behind NLP.

NLP seeks to change the programming we have in our brains that causes us to react negatively to certain triggers. The belief is that those triggers are really memories or learned behaviors from the subconscious mind that are impacting our emotions. By reprogramming these memories with something positive - a calming color or sight, a happy memory or a pleasant tone of voice - we are thereby changing the way our brain interprets the trigger and changing the way we react. Sure there is little hard, scientific data to back up the claims made by NLP and NLP practitioners but when carefully considered, the theories posed by the method make sense.

There has to be some reason Patient A and Patient B react to things like dogs, snakes or spiders differently. They could have grown up next door to each other, spent their entire childhoods together and came from the same basic background. We'll say, for arguments sake that they were both from middle class, average families with one sibling two years older and one sibling two years younger, and both parents still married - one parent worked, the other stayed home and for the argument's sake again, will say it was the same parent at home in both families. They got similar grades in school and both had the same friends. Yet somehow, despite nearly identical childhoods, Patient A is terrified of dogs and Patient B is a dog lover. How does this happen?

According to NLP, it is likely that Patient A was bitten by a dog or had a bad experience with a dog, or someone in their family had a fear of dogs and displayed it in from of them. In either case, it is probable Patient A has no memory of this experience because it may have happened when they were too young to remember. That doesn't matter to the brain though. The subconscious mind remembers this and triggers the fear reaction every time Patient A sees a dog.

Patient A wants to solve this problem because Patient B is a close friend and, yes, has a four legged friend of their own. Patient A just wants to be able to visit Patient B without having a panic attack at the thought of seeing the dog. Patient A turns to an NLP practitioner to get help.

The NLP practitioner is going to try to get to the root cause of Patient A's phobia. Together, they discover that Patient A did in fact have a bad experience which programmed into Patient A's mind that dogs are bad news and should be avoided. The NLP practitioner will now set about trying to reformat that program by changing the reaction the brain has to dogs. They will do this by reprogramming the brain so when Patient A sees a dog, a pleasant reaction is triggered; allowing Patient A and Patient B to have pleasant visits without the panic attacks. - 31969

Vital Step In NLP

By Landon Rivera

There are two basic principals of beginning to work with Neuro-Linguistic Programming which can greatly improve a person's life by teaching them how to control their emotional reactions, move further in their career and improve behavioral problems. This powerful, fast and effective method of psychotherapy - called NLP for short - can assist a person on their journey to a happy, more fulfilled life.

The first step, though, is deciding that you are ready to change. Without a willingness to accept that many of your problems are caused by the way you think, you are going to get limited use out of NLP therapy. NLP seeks to help you change, but if you are unreceptive to the ideas and methodology behind it, there is little anyone can do. The change first starts with you.

Set Goals:

The first step in NLP therapy is to set achievable goals keeping in mind exactly what you hope to accomplish. Don't be vague. Wanting to improve your life isn't the answer you're looking for you. You have to know exactly what you need to improve your life - what needs to change, what needs to stay the same, what needs to be added and what needs to be removed are all questions you need to ask yourself at this time. For this reason, setting goals may take longer and be more involved than you expected, but it is necessary if you want to see real results.

When you have answered the questions posed above it is time to state your goals. Leave the negativity at the door here. Phrase your goals in a positive way. You almost must be able to see, hear, feel, taste or touch the results. In other words, you must be able to have tangible results. This way you can test your results and physically experience your achievements. Make this easier by visualizing your results as you set your goals. Imagine all aspects of that goal and achieving it. You also have to be responsible for keeping track of your results yourself. This is important because you don't want your progress to depend on someone else. Also be sure the result does not limit you in any way. The goal of NLP is opening yourself up to choice and option. Do not set a goal that robs you of either of those things.

Awareness

Awareness is of vital importance. Setting a goal is of little help if you can't tell whether or not you progressing. You have to be able to see the progress in yourself but also, be able to read your progress in the people you interact with. Read them carefully for their reaction to you and watch to see if it is changing as it should be. You should be able to see positive changes in the way they interact with you. The great thing about NLP is it shows you how to do that as well. - 31969

Inquiring Minds Want To Know Does NLP Cure Phobias?

By Trevor Johnson

Fear is not described as something that is inhumane. In fact, everyone battles a sense of fear of something at one point or time in their lives. However, it is how you deal with this fear that can cause a big problem in your life. One question that a lot of people tend to ask pertaining to phobias is concerning the cure for the problem. Does nlp cure phobias is a common question that many are inquisitive to gain answers to.

NLP is an acronym that is used for the longer term of the word which is neuro-lingustic programming. It is seen as a general approach to model human behaviors by aiding in personal growth and assisting with basic communication.

The practice actually was first introduced in the 1970s and contains a set amount of techniques that derived directly from behaviors that were observed by psychotherapists. NLP focuses on three main areas a persons mind, their language patterns as well as their perceptions or thoughts.

A lot of people tend to refer to NLP as a state of hypnosis, which in many regards is what it truly is. It channels in on all basic human emotions and makes them bigger than you would expect. Properly being able to define what NLP is can be rather difficult, since different hypnotherapists may use different techniques in order to assist their consumers.

NLP provides tools that hypnotherapists need in order to assist their clients with what they need in order to be able to live a happier, fuller and content life. After the procedure has been administered many people go on with their lives cured of their present phobias and ready to face anything.

If you have a phobia that seems to be inhibiting your life, trying NLP may be the best solution to your problem. It's a quick and easy way, without spending hours with a shrink. - 31969

NLP - As A Long Term Solution

By Luis Murphy

Anchoring is one of the fundamental methods in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) - a powerful psychotherapy technique that seeks to improve a person's life by helping them over come negative thinking and self-limiting thoughts and feelings. Anchoring helps the patient master their emotions and overcome self-defeating behavior. Because it focuses on the root cause of the problem, rather than just seeking to treat the symptoms, NLP and anchoring are a long term solution. All you need is the desire to change and the desire to improve.

Emotions and emotional reactions are all caused by something - and that something is called a trigger. Before you can be in control of those reactions you must identify what that trigger is. It will be different for everyone. When seeing an NLP practitioner, the first thing they will do is help you identify your trigger by asking you targeted questions and carefully listening to your responses. They will be looking for key words and phrases and will then ask deeper questions until the trigger is exposed. From there, they will begin helping you anchor that trigger so you will no longer have a negative reaction to it.

The trigger stirs an emotional response from memory. A painful trigger is attached to a painful memory. A happy trigger is attached to a happy memory. When you are experiencing an inappropriate emotional reaction to a trigger - getting angry when you encounter a certain trigger and being unable to control that anger - it is important to anchor it to something else.

In anchoring a trigger, we are changing what emotion is attached to it. An NLP practitioner is likely to use therapy to anchor a trigger than makes you angry to something you feel neutral about. It is likely not appropriate to attach a trigger that makes you feel angry to something that makes you feel happy as that would create a completely different type of inappropriate reaction. For that reason, a neutral reaction is more desired - perhaps choosing something that offers a calming an effect to the patient.

Many anchoring techniques utilize visualization as a beginning point. The patient is made to visual what makes them angry and then visualize the thing that makes them feel calm. It's important to think of nothing but those two things, being careful not to allow the negative emotion - rage, in this case - to attach to the calming device. In time, the trigger will automatically be associated with calm instead of rage. - 31969

Purposes Of NLP

By Owen Bailey

Although there are wide ranging applications for the methodology of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, one of the most commonly utilized purposes for NLP in today's society is in the field of marketing and business. More and more managers, advertising executives and CEOs are using NLP to reduce the stress in their own lives and help their employees manage stress, achieve goals and communicate more effectively.

NLP is especially useful in a competitive field where you have to excel to advance. Since NLP can help you not only improve your communication skills but also feel more confident and more capable - therefore willing to take more chances. Even if you aren't rewarded with that promotion, NLP also helps you take away the positive aspects of being passed over - learning how you can improve and better communicate your desires - and leave behind the negative aspects like hurt feelings and disappointment.

When two people communicate, there are all sorts of hidden signals sent out on both sides. These signals are sent via body language, mannerisms, the way you speak words, the tone of voice you use - all of these things can sometimes speak louder than the actual words themselves. If you are at a job interview and your body language is saying you are unprepared and unconfident you are likely not going to get the job. That nervous body language is created in your mind. NLP can help uncover what is causing that insecurity and eliminate it. By doing so, at your next interview you will have confident, prepared body language and have a much better chance of getting the job.

NLP teaches the value of being able to adapt to different social situations so you will be prepared for any scenario. By simply adjusting your posture, tone of voice and body language to match that of the person you're talking to you build a sort of connection with them. You are better able to find common ground because they will feel like they are speaking with an equal rather than someone below or above them.

NLP also helps remove the self-defeating thoughts each of us has so that we are better able to reach our fullest potential. By freeing ourselves of the thoughts that tells us we can't achieve a goal, suddenly, we are telling ourselves that we can. Believing we can makes us work harder and strive to reach the goal that once seemed unattainable. That confidence makes all the difference in the world of business and in life in general.

NLP is a great tool for anyone to utilize to live their life to the fullest and improve every aspect of their life. - 31969

The Core Of NLP Methodology

By Juan Reed

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the subconscious reasons for a patient's disorders - from depression to habit disorders and phobias. It was developed in the early 1970s based on the idea that there is a strong connection between internal thoughts and dialogue - beliefs and values - and external behavior and the general quality of a person's life.

To really understand the basics of NLP, one need look no further than the title - Neuro, of the brain, Linguistic, pertaining to language and speech, and programming, trained thoughts or behaviors programmed into our minds. These programs affect every part of our life and we need to correct those programs to make positive changes in our lives.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming began with the belief that there are certain trigger words and phrases a therapist can recognize in a patients speech to help effect change in a patients behavior. NLP practitioners believe that by helping to identify these words and phrases, they can help 'deprogram' patients by testing the deletions, distortions and generalizations in a patients responses. When a patient gives an NLP practitioner an answer that relies on generalizations - such as, "I feel depressed" - instead of a full answer - "I feel depressed because" - the practitioner recognized this and challenges it with targeted questioning - "Why specifically do you feel depressed?" "What happened to make you feel depressed?" "When did you start feeling depressed?" These target questions are designed to break through the patients' mental blocks and allow them to see the real problem clearly - to realize it, and then change it. These mental blocks are at the core of the NLP methodology.

By breaking through those self-imposed mental blocks, NLP helps both the practitioner and the patient have a deeper understanding of the root cause of the problem - in this case, depression. People naturally build these mental blocks through past experiences, beliefs and values that have developed over time. For this reason, it can be difficult to get through them as they mind seeks to protect them using the language we use and the words we use to respond to challenging questions. That is the reason we are more likely to say "I feel depressed" or "I am depressed" as opposed to choosing an answer that tells the listener why we are feeling that way.

NLP practitioners can identify the problem with the targeted questions we discussed earlier and isolate the program that is causing the feeling. Sometimes there is a specific trigger. What that trigger is will be different for different people. The goal in NLP is to uncover that trigger and use anchoring, perceptual positions, reframing, representational systems or sub-modalities to change the way the patient reacts to that trigger. - 31969
