Reducing Stress and building Self Esteem
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5842″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Following on from last month’s topic of ‘Stress’ we thought it would be good to introduce you all to therapist Anne Marie Ferris as teaching her clients to remove stress from their lives is central to how Anne Marie works. Anne Marie’s background for the last thirty years and an area in which she still works for part of her time is education. This fundamentally informs Anne Marie’s practice and she often works with parents and children in areas such as stress reduction and self esteem.
NLP
A visit to Anne Marie can involve any or all of the therapies at her disposal. These include Neurolinguistic Programming which seeks to deal with how our belief systems and emotions can be serious barriers to happiness. It teaches that our fears and limiting beliefs can disrupt our whole quality of life, confusing us with conflicting thoughts, eroding our self confidence and making us question and doubt ourselves and our abilities. Just imagine how life could be if that weren’t the case. NLP seeks to help you see and understand how you can change the responses and behaviours that don’t work for you to the ones that allow you to live your life to the full.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Thought Field Therapy or Tapping Therapist
Also used is Thought Field Therapy, also known as ‘Tapping’. This is a simple, non invasive therapy which can be taught to be self administered and who’s function is to restore the energy flow through the body’s meridians which in turn has a positive effect on emotional wellbeing. A trained TFT practitioner is able to quickly diagnose which of the energy meridians are out of balance. Once diagnosed, the treatment involves having the client tap on certain locations on their body in a specific order, while focusing on the psychological problem. Mentally tuning into the problem is vital during both diagnosis and treatment.
Counselling, Hypnotherapy, reflexology, therapist training and more.
Anne Marie also calls counselling, hypnotherapy, reflexology, massage and diet and lifestyle management into play and ante-natal classes, which are also on-going at the moment. Like many of the best therapists she is also a therapist trainer, quite a number of strings to her bow.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Stress and breathing exercises
However from speaking to her it’s obvious that it’s all about gently leading her clients, be they child or adult, to a place where they can overcome the psychological and emotional hinderances that block the way to happiness and self fulfillment. “Stress” says Anne Marie can “literally turn you off” and the practices she encourages her clients to adopt are designed to “make happiness second nature”. “Five minutes of doing a simple breathing exercise” she says “can positively allow well being to soak into our day” and “as well as simply feeling better this helps us to think more clearly and make better decisions”. We all go through periods when the going gets tough and we really need a helping hand to find a better way ahead, what if that helping hand had all these amazing tools at her disposal?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_empty_space height=”72px”][vc_single_image image=”5846″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_border” border_color=”green”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Anne Marie practices in Killinick and can be contacted on 086 1741978 or for more information check out theferriswheel.org.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5840″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
