Anger and rage are universal human experiences that everyone encounters in their lives. While these emotions are a natural response to perceived threats or injustices, they can sometimes spiral out of control, causing significant stress and adverse effects on our relationships and overall well-being.
Generally, anger and rage are considered negative emotions, and get a bad press with examples like 'Road Rage' But this emotion is embedded within us for a good reason, it is one of the three behaviour’s our mind triggers to keep us safe, and in some, thankfully, rare situations nowadays this response can be lifesaving.
The effectiveness of hypnosis in controlling people is a topic of debate among psychologists and researchers. Hypnosis is a state of focused attention, heightened openness, and deep relaxation. While it can be a powerful tool for certain therapeutic purposes, such as managing pain or overcoming certain behaviours, it is generally not considered a means of controlling someone against their will.
In a therapeutic context, individuals who are hypnotised are typically willing participants, and the success of hypnosis depends on the individual's openness to new approaches. It cannot force someone to do something against their moral or ethical beliefs, and individuals under hypnosis still maintain a level of control over their actions.
Factors that contribute
Phobias are intense, irrational fears of specific objects, situations, or activities. The development of these are thought to be influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Here are some common factors that contribute to the development of phobias:
There is evidence to suggest a genetic predisposition to certain phobias. If individuals have a family history of anxiety disorders or specific phobias, they may be more likely to develop similar fears.
Anxiety and depression are two distinct terms but have overlapping mental health conditions. Both have some common features and key differences.
Anxiety:
is characterised by excessive worry, fear, or uneasiness about future events. It is often linked to anticipation of a threat or danger. It can manifest physically with symptoms such as restlessness, muscle tension, increased heart rate, sweating, trembling and fatigue. Individuals with anxiety may experience racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, and a heightened state of alertness. Anxiety is often triggered by specific situations or events, and it can vary in intensity. Common anxiety disorders include generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder.
