Stress,
Tension, Anxiety
Stress
is classified as a disorder. It is not a disease. It is, however,
a disorder which causes disease because of the affect it has on
the human immune system and other functions of the body.
Health
care providers agree that chronic stress and tension is directly
or indirectly the cause of many diseases. The primary cause is anxiety
(a state of anxiousness or great concern whether real or imagined).
By modifying ones belief system, anxiousness can be eliminated along
with the accompanying addictions.
We
are whatever we believe we are
For
every mental action, there is a physical reaction, no matter how
small. If you experience mental stress, it will always manifest
itself physically. Some people get tight muscles, headaches, sweat,
behave differently than they normally do, and can even become violent.
Chronic
Stress Precursor to Disease
Chronic
stress has an extremely negative affect on cells in the body. It
inhibits the proper functioning of cells resulting in the potential
onset of cancer, hypertension, vascular, heart and other life threatening
diseases.
A
study conducted by the Mayo Clinic regarding stressful events linked
to cancer revealed that over 70% of their adult cancer patients
experienced an extremely stressful situation in their life approximately
18 months prior to being diagnosed with cancer. Several other studies
have linked stress to being a possible contributor to causing cancer.
It
is known by cardiologists that stress causes hypertension which
can lead to stroke and heart attack.
Stress
is a primary factor in the cause of insomnia (inability to sleep).
Stress
is the primary factor in Bruxism (Grinding of teeth).
Stress
is essentially a state of anxiety so therefore the remedy is to
eliminate the cause that triggers the anxiety. Altering one's state
of mind is the safest and most effective way to deal with chronic,
acute stress.
Professional
behavior modification techniques is one of the most effective and
safest methods of providing relief from chronic stress.(Safer than
drugs or alcohol).
The
optimum way to relieve stress is in a private or group session.
Continued success can be obtained by utilizing clinical reinforcement
audio programs.

such as Neuro Linguistic Programming, positive imaging, various
cognitive therapies and motivational approaches, The FREND Group
