Do you get anxious when you have to go away from home, go on holiday or be away from a person or place of safety?.
Many people become full of fear, anxiety and worry about taking
holidays, moving away from home or a place of safety... why is this?
Do you feel full of fear, anxious or panicky when leaving home?
Do you rarely or never leave home without a partner, parent or friend?
Do you feel displaced or alone in most situations?
Do you worry about trips, holidays or days out?
Do you worry constantly?
If this sounds like you, you probably already know that you have developed an anxiety disorder which fuels your worry and fears.
Anxiety disorders can take many forms, but, they all have one thing in common, they are all caused by a shift in the way the Amygdala,
a small organ in the brain responsible for the anxiety reaction,
reacts.
When this organ becomes reset at a higher 'normal' level of
anxiety, the body reacts inappropriately to normal situations by
producing higher than normal levels of adrenalin, the hormone which
causes the bodily symptoms associated with the anxious reaction.
Anxiety is not FEAR... it is the disorder of the emotion of fear.
Anxiety can be removed completely. Just like any other disorder, when it is eliminated, it can no longer produce the inappropriate and uncomfortable sensations and thoughts sufferers have experienced.
Removal of an anxiety disorder relies on four essential factors:
1. Knowledge
2. Structure
3. Compliance
4. Support
If you DO what your mind and body require in order to deactivate anxiety, the disorder is removed quickly.
Whether your anxiety is constant, intermittent or happens when you have to travel on holiday or leave home, is irrelevant; if you have an anxiety disorder, you will experience inappropriate and often frightening, symptoms.
Sufferers often experience panic attacks and often when they are travelling away from home or on transport such as airplanes.
Holiday anxiety sufferers often begin to create anchors between travel or transport and their high level anxiety, preempting and catastrophising about their trip, often far before it happens.
This phobic response can give rise to many physiological symptoms and inappropriate thoughts.
