     You have struggled with your problem.  You have tried everything you know to manage symptoms, sleep better, and keep your problem from taking over your life.  Sometimes things start to get better on their own and you feel such relief!  Then, the problem seems to come back on its own.  You are tired of trying to manage and so much of your energy seems to go to talking yourself through this.  I understand and I can help.

 

  Many times the problem does not get solved by trying to talk yourself through things, and you are NOT a failure because you couldn't pick yourself up by your boot straps or talk yourself through something.  The problems can become solved only when true subconscious healing takes place.  Why? The subconscious mind generally is the feeling part of the mind.  If something has taken place in your life that tended to wound or overwhelm the feeling part, it does not necessarily link to the more adaptive parts of the brain, but instead  codes into the brain as a stand alone incident.  When  such an incident happens, things that tend to remind the subconscious of the original overwhelming incident such as sights, feelings, bodily sensations tend to trigger the subconscious to respond as if the original incident is happening again instead of feeling that the incident is something from the past. The subconscious responds as if the past is in the present and a pattern begins to form. The person starts becoming very sensitive to words, or sensations that even slightly feel like the original hurtful event.  

​

Let me give you a real life example of how this works.  Say you were raised in a very critical family.  You accomplished something you were very proud of only to have someone criticize you or find something wrong with what you felt was very good. You weren't ready for the criticism because you thought your accomplishment was  good, so it really hurt.  This hurt felt very overwhelming to the subconscious mind.  Remember it is the feeling part of the mind, so it doesn't always make sense or can't just say "Oh that person is always critical."  The hurt lodges in and over the years you become even more sensitive because more criticisms happen when you just aren't prepared for them.  You start feeling that you really can't do anything right, or that you have difficulties succeeding. You become so sensitive to hearing criticism that if someone walks up to you and says "Do this instead of that"  you hear "You are just too much of a failure to figure that out on your own."  and instant anger, hurt, anxiety, over reaction etc.  Changing such incidents can only happen if the subconscious can let go of it's hurt and  heal so that it is not so sensitive to such remarks. When subconscious healing takes place the subconscious mind can connect with more adaptive memory networks and readily move forward instead of being stuck frozen in it's hurt state.    When adaptive memory networks are created, a person can talk themselves through tough incidents and talk positively to themselves and the subconscious believes it.
