Cognitive therapy has to do with simply changing the way someone thinks and behaves. Cognitive therapy theorists believe negative thoughts and feelings will create anxiety and mood disorders in one’s life.  For example, if a student is struggling with algebra but seeing other students succeeding, the student may see himself or herself as a failure. The negative thoughts may lead to anxiety or even depression. So cognitive therapy would try to change the way the student perceives “struggling with algebra” that would not be associated with such negative thoughts. Perhaps the cognitive therapist would get the student to focus more on his or her own star qualities unique to only that particular individual. The therapist might try to build up the student’s self-esteem by allowing him or her to see that “nobody’s” perfect.

Behavioral therapy offers relief from anxiety in the sense that it modifies one’s behavior to help that person become more adaptive to an uncomfortable situation and thus relinquish the fear triggered by a set of environmental and social factors. So, for instance, let’s look at the example of a nervous law student. A behavioral therapist may recreate a law school environment. The therapist may even take the student to a large classroom setting. The idea would be to walk the student through a simulated class session. The therapist would help the student with relaxation techniques and coping skills for manifested anxiety. The ultimate goal would be to make the student feel as comfortable as possible in a situation that would normally trigger emotional worry, fear or even panic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a very effective form of anxiety treatment.

Another way to experience anxiety relief is through the special bond of social relationships.  If you can surround yourself with people who respect and appreciate you the most, you can heal and nurture your own self-image dramatically.  It will allow you to see more of your own personal star qualities. It will change your way of thinking and offer a new perspective about the world and how other people view you specifically.  It will most certainly reduce your anxiety and stress levels and help you manage if not eliminate panic attacks.

There are numerous forms of natural relief for anxiety besides homeopathy and herbal supplementation.  In aromatherapy, for instance, essential oils from plants are used to activate the body’s sense of smell triggering a part of the brain that controls a wide range of emotional responses.  Using the right kinds of oils can greatly reduce your stress and anxiety levels.  The best way essential oils work is by directly applying them to the skin through the use of a massage or compress.  They can also be added to a bath as well.

Hypnotherapy or hypnosis is another form of natural anxiety relief that involves the practice of putting people in a trance-like state making them more susceptible to suggestion.  It would be very useful to people who suffer with panic attacks because it would enable them to gain much better control over their own thoughts and feelings when they find themselves in anxious or nervous situations.  If hypnosis is successful, the patient has an improved communication between the conscious and unconscious mind.  Guided by the aid or suggestion of a hypnotherapist, a patient may be able to reduce stress or anxiety levels and possibly even eliminate all future panic attacks.

The practice of mental visualization and/or meditation is a good way to acquire almost instant anxiety relief.  If you’ve ever watched Tiger Woods play golf, you have seen him utilize mental visualization prior to every shot.  In fact, mental visualization was one of the first principles his Dad ever taught him before he could barely swing a golf club.  His Dad would tell him to “take a picture.”  This of course referred to Tiger’s putts on the green.  Before each shot, Tiger’s Dad wanted him to mentally “picture” the golf ball going along a certain path into the hole.  Now, obviously, I don’t think this hurt Tiger’s game one bit.  So practice mental visualization no matter what the situation.  Take a picture!  See yourself achieving success.  Allow mental visualization to condition your mind for a clearer vision of a desired outcome and better adapt your body to any physiological changes due to stress and/or anxiety.

Natural relief for anxiety does exist in many forms.  Practice or utilize aromatherapy, hypnosis and mental visualization to help tame your anxiety and stress levels.  These techniques and/or tips are a great way to release some pent up tension in your body.  Finding more natural forms of anxiety relief will be good for your health and help you enjoy life so much better.

There are two forms anxiety relief in the natural sense that bear mentioning:  Homeopathic and herbal anxiety relief.

——

If you live in the United States, you may not even know the word “homeopathy.”  Homeopathic remedies consist of dilutions of natural substances (i.e. plants, minerals and animals) that act to stimulate the body’s own process of natural healing.  Advocates of Homeopathy claim that the more a substance is diluted or broken down, the more powerful it becomes in terms of its healing effects.  Homeopathy is practiced by millions of people all over the world mainly in Europe and in Germany.  Homeopathy has proven to be an excellent form of natural anxiety relief for mental disorders involving stress and anxiety; however it is not recognized mainly because it poses a threat to the profits of the pharmaceutical and drug companies.

——

Another way to achieve anxiety relief is through the use of herbal supplementation.  Herbal medicine is one of the most ancient (if not the oldest) forms of health care in human history.  Herbs have been used in all cultures and come in several forms including herbs, teas, capsules, tablets, extracts, tinctures, and oils.  Herbs usually do not work as fast as drugs however using them over the long-term can restore proper functioning of the body and increase health and vitality.  Here are some popular anxiety relief herbs:

——

Panax Ginseng is shown to improve blood flow to the brain and reduce stress caused by mental and/or emotional disorders.

Valerian Root is an herb that has been used for centuries as a calming agent and muscle relaxant.

Passion Flower is another mild sedative that is good for natural anxiety relief and helps reduce stress and muscle tension.

St. John’s Wort is known to have a positive effect on the nervous system.  It can be used to help treat anxiety and nervous tension.

Please note whether you are using homeopathy or herbal supplementation for anxiety relief, it is always best to consult a doctor first especially if you are using medications of any kind.  Some ingredients may actually enhance or decrease the effects of certain medications you are taking.  Also, please note that pregnant and/or breastfeeding women should not use any herb unless under the supervision of their doctor.
