Breakfast was never a meal I wanted to eat. I never wake up hungry like so many others. My parents bribed me with a cookie or danish or English Muffin with jelly. I ate in order to not go too long without any food in my system.
Here I am decades later with anxiety/panic/depression and I shake when I eat breakfast no matter the time of the day. Now that earthquake of the anxiety disorder has me upset eating lunch and it's creeping into dinner time.
2 Therapists are at a loss to explain it. Help!
Well, you might find my suggestion weird-I say try a hypnotist
Not weird at all. I posted to ask if anyone would share their experiences with a Hypnotist. Still looking for feedback.
Have appt. Wed. to see a Therapist who was hired into the HMO because I'd been asking for that help since I joined the group 4 yrs. ago. They couldn't find anyone to lure away from their private practice.
After 2 yrs. with her and what I'd call guided imagery about a doz. times, she said okay to use more hypnosis. I only want it if she can be positive in her approach instead of telling me what I'm doing wrong.
It worked back in the day when I looked for help with high blood pressure, when my husband bolted when I thought I might be pregnant and a few other times.
Now it's called Mindfulness and administered by a Therapist, not a Counselor with a PhD.
Are you saying hypnosis is now called “mindfulness”? I thought that meant meditation. I need to keep up with the terms if that’s the case. I went to a hypnotist when I was a child and can now do self hypnosis very easily. I think it’s very helpful to keep balanced.
Mindfulness is the course used nowadays. It's based on breathing techniques.
Therapists don't have the PhD credentials of Psychologists. Insurance companies are in charge of our decisions to pay for Psych. or go via our health insur.
Just by chance I came across an article on mindfulness. It is relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and other methods to help regulate emotions. Interestingly enough, I was reading they will be working with students in England in a traditional school curriculum to study which approach works best for young people. The study runs until 2021. It is good to hear mental health is being addressed.
