Anxious times in the credit crunch?
I was watching Sky News yesterday which had a running total of the cost of the credit crunch! With so much doom and gloom presented in the media little wonder that there is so anxiety in society. I checked my own client records for the types of conditions I am currently treating and noticed that currently over 90% are for anxiety related issues. Many clients have previously tried a number of "traditional talk therapy approaches" without success and are surprised at the effectiveness of the approaches that I use with clients.
One of the secrets to accelerated and long lasting change is to create opportunities for the client to experience new ways of thinking and feeling, by paying attention in a new way. In many instances clients are highly intelligent, but up until now have found it impossible to switch off in order to experience useful levels of relaxation to create a better life balance.
A sensible investment in creating this better sense of well being (usually 2 - 3 sessions) can produce extraordinary results and open up a world of new opportunities with the previous anxiety is replaced by a new found freedom.

I, too, have noticed an increase in the number of clients with anxiety, several of them teenagers.
One thing we can helpfully teach people focussed on the negative is the NLP idea of each of us having our own map of the world. We can, through the two or three sessions you mention, encourage them to look for the positive in everyday life. I also give such clients a small notebook and encourage them to write daily, three things they are grateful for. This is another way of changing their focus.
