ANXIETY

If you have anxiety in your life, at least you’re not alone. Some surveys have found that anxiety is the most common psychological disorder in the United States. It is so prevalent that many people accept it as an unwelcome fact of life. While it’s true that anxiety often has no obvious trigger, it can also be attributed to factors such as the loss of a job or the illness of a family member. Even in cases like this, however, the anxiety is frequently out of proportion to the apparent cause; for example, a deadline at work may send your anxiety soaring far above what is warranted by the circumstances.

Remember, however, that no matter what you attribute your anxiety to, the key is collapsing the perturbations in the Thought Field that are responsible for it. Once those perturbations are eradicated, the anxiety will vanish as well.

Sometimes anxiety is accompanied by panic attacks. Panic is a sudden, intense onset of severe anxiety. For people who have never had a severe panic reaction, it is hard to imagine how disruptive and terrifying these episodes can be. Once they occur, they can dramatically affect how people live their lives, often leaving them fearful of having another panicky response, which makes them chronically anxious. They may consciously stay only in familiar and secure environments where such attacks are less likely to occur. In the most extreme cases, people become permanently homebound.

I recall a young mother who could not get more than six feet from her front door without having a severe panic attack. As a result, she was terrified about what might happen if her three-year-old son had a medical emergency that required an urgent trip to the hospital; she simply didn’t think she’d be able to take him. Within a few minutes, after using the TFT algorithm, it was clear to her that she would be able to handle such an emergency.

The following algorithm is for “simple anxiety/stress.” It will work for most people. If it doesn’t get your SUD as low as you’d like, however, then use the algorithm for “complex anxiety/panic attack.” Begin with the “first use” algorithm for complex anxiety, and then, if necessary, move on to one of the alternative algorithms.
