The confidence and well being MP3 is designed to work along side your treatment plan, as an addition to any cognitive work that we may provide. The hypnosis MP3 is directed towards activating and connecting with a part of your nervous system that is called the Para sympathetic nervous system. When you are feeling completely relaxed and calm you are in your Para Sympathetic nervous system and it feels fantastic.
When the mind and body is under stress the fight and flight system can become activated (called the limbic system) and the Sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, this is when you can experience, anxious thoughts and the symptoms of anxiety.
The MP3 is designed to assist you by calming your mind and body, through just listening to the narrative, this can begin to stimulate a Para Sympathetic response in your nervous system, so you can feel calm and relaxed again. At the same time, the narrative also works on increasing your ego strength and confidence, helping you to feel generally more resilient to the challenges you maybe facing.
There is also a usefulness of listening to the MP3 prior to treatment, sometimes the fight and flight system can become over activated, especially with long term stressful situations. Part of the brain called the Amygdala (an area that plays a role in the fight and flight system) can become stress-induced, over activated, and new sensory information is unable to pass through. It is like trying to learn a new skill when being stressed, it feels more difficult than what it would be like to learn when feeling calm and relaxed. The benefit prior to treatment is that , you can have the opportunity to calm the mind, so new learning from our treatments are more effective.
