Anxiety Treatment Gets Physical
Anxiety Therapy treats much more than most people think it does. The physical affects of Anxiety are a very real part of the disorder and not imagined issues manifesting themselves.
The use of heart monitors help Anxiety sufferers by showing them the cardiac effects of the disorder and how the heart rate changes in response to hormonal, emotional and neural events.
simply by changing their negative emotions to a positive outlook they can simultaneously change their body’s response – and see the effects for themselves. Research has shown that when you learn how to intentionally shift to a positive emotion, heart rhythms immediately change. Now you may not think that a shift in heart rhythms is such a big deal, but in fact it sets in motion a cascade of neural, hormonal and biochemical events that benefit the entire body. Blood pressure drops. Stress hormones drop. The immune system is strengthened. their heart rate begins to show more variability in response to their positive thoughts. And this is just as true for people who’ve battled anxiety for years as it is for someone who has had it for months. They realize that they no longer have racing thoughts; they’ve actually calmed down
People with Anxiety Disorder hear from so many people that it is “all in their heads” that they often ignore their physical signs of distress. By seeing how their disorder affects their thoughts and emotions, which in turn affects stress hormones and physical function, they can see that there is an actual, physical demonstration of the disorder and it becomes something that they can measure and treat. Anxiety Treatment can be very successful when it uses physical examples to help patients.
