and welcome to in good shape on today's show can sense help manage ellis'. sleeping and fear what's behind a recurring nightmares. and panic attacks and phobias what can be done about anxiety disorders. we all feel frightened or worried sometimes but sometimes fears can get out of hand when spiders injections or crowds trigger panic for example everyday life can become extremely difficult to navigate. as it often victim help on the way to the station i already felt that something wasn't right but not in that soup or stew i got on the train and then inside i could relax absolute gods but waiting until i noticed i was starting to shake that

i felt hot and nervous i couldn't focus on the wake but as you walked off got undone i thought why not i got my phone at a made an instagram story up into 3rd to. the others by the last public up i had my 1st panic attack here i was on the tram going to be guy i remember i was sitting up front. suddenly i felt really hot i i didn't know what was happening i began to shake and sweat but soon after a few stops i had to get off at 1st i wanted to walk but couldn't someone have to pick me up up till half way there my friend arrived to get me in her car she drove me home where i stayed for a while on the whole of the fog or doublets off the believe. discover kind of woman i could relax a tall i think i was always in a panic i always. well tense and bad i couldn't go outside i couldn't go shopping.

other people had to shop for me when i couldn't leave the has for weeks at a time all scared to. use a gun sometimes even intense phase when i got panic attacks at home lasted around 2 months but i still get panic attacks and episodes of anxiety because artist storms and there were times when it stopped for 3 weeks each year i went to northern israel to take care of children and teenagers because before you could not have you when i was there the panic attacks would start i just didn't get the author vic. so but last year was a disaster i got to italy and the anxiety didn't go away i just thought the shrek. had married because i thought this isn't how i want to live my life for the next few years and that's what was in my head until one day at the end of last november i felt motivated enough to think ok to hell with this today's the day that i have to do something. i grabbed my phone and tried almost every mental health clinic in

castle it's sending up to talk of the fakir the parks it's hard to find a therapy appointment. finally i found someone for god and i got an appointment super quickly i'd say it saved my life. my lips got to go. and it hit up you have a sense of my therapist and i were able to develop solutions for acute situations as well as tips and tricks for coping with panic attacks. and i learnt how to get outside again that was the most important thing. you can talk i had to take the tram to the train station each day for a week then i had to take the same route each day from the train station into the suburbs and then back again to talk i had to keep a diary of my tension a kind of log then as much as i hate by confronting us i've realised ok actually nothing bad happened. but let's see how ok it's an extremist let's see i've got my anxiety level actually decrease day by day from talk to talk by problems i think

that was one of the most important parts of my therapy because i then realized ok wow i really can go shopping now if i was able to ride the train for an hour yesterday i call to get going to discuss other stuff up which good looks. good to do the future shape of people who suffer from mental illness don't just have to cope with their mental illnesses but also with the talk of their completely sidelined by the rest of society that's what i say about 25 percent of my problem was the anxiety and depression and about 75 percent was worrying about what other people think but you got to talk to myself. this is ridiculous i know for a fact that a lot of people aren't doing so well it's not just me doctors who didn't just want to keep it to myself so i decided to make an instagram post. post. post. i posted on instagram the fact that i have an anxiety disorder. and i noticed that so many people even more than i'd realized have the same or similar problems

so i've never regretted posting it for a 2nd. critically it's mccain now i open with people who know me and say hey i can't do this i'm not well because of my anxiety disorder and they'll say ok. i wanted to be clear that there's no reason to be ashamed of mental illness it just everybody understands it's an illness like on the other. and there's no reason to hide us just before. the. interview d.w. recorder talks to psycho therapist from s. a movie she works with people who suffer from panic attacks it's the fear of other people or wide open spaces. what sort of treatment options are available to them.

here is not necessarily nice feeling it can also protect us potentially from dangerous this fear have a worse reputation then it deserves fear is experienced as a very uncomfortable feeling on the physical level. and the same time socially fear is not really accept but let's imagine what would happen if we didn't experience any fear let me explain through an example what would you do if i put a tiger here in front of on the table a wild one without any chain my initial reaction would be to run away yeah exactly you would run away because we know the tiger is a potential danger for us the fear that appears together with the idea makes but we . start acting then we start running away so i would say yes.

fear has wrongly a bad reputation because it saves us from the injured at what point would you classify ixion t. as an x. 80 disorder. anxiety disorder means actually a group. of friends psychological disorder. where the person experience anxiety where there is no tiger on the table where there is no danger or you have a pending does the person suffer again and again from panic attacks are coming out of the blue the person is not interested to ation doesn't see any danger but is appears like a tornado or. arises from 0 to hundreds. the person is normally completely overwhelmed helpless. the heartbeat gets very very

fast the breathing that's fast and superficial saw. the person can get the feeling that there is not enough air to brief because. one can have the impression too to experience a heart attack the person is afraid of dying it can take one hour but normally after 30 minutes it's over do you have some practical advice on how to cope with exciting or be able to reduce it yet it can have already. to yourself that anxiety is a feeling that comes after also goals and even the most intense of foreign like the panic comes and goes and that it's over after a while. it can also help to talk openly about

anxiety to other people. next to that i mean there. are things you can change in your everyday life like reduce cigarette reduce coffee. you can integrate in your everyday life like regular spores regular physical activity like running hours cycling or swimming. you can learn how to brief correctly which is normally through the nose. told your belly. 5 seconds inhaling and 5 seconds exhaling. you can learn relaxation exercises like how to get a training muscle relaxation. mindful on the exercises like meditation yoga are breathing techniques that can relax the body

it's important to do them regularly to do them to do them only when you have a panic attack doesn't help you have to train your body it's like training a loss and if i maybe know someone who suffers from exile can i support them somehow i would consider someone comes to you and talks openly about his anxieties to you to value that one has done that the person says that it's really in 10. really painful and that she feels like overwhelmed and her every day maybe supported the person to get professional help because a professional person has enough distance to the concern person. could really treat the anxiety. and you get. to too much into the other person's

problem so we conclude that fear is not always a bad thing. the best thing to cope with exile to better is to practice breathing thanks so much for this interesting talk thank you. tossing and turning heart racing by terror while you sleep nightmares are mysterious and fascinating but if they happen all the time you might need help. many people suffer from recurring nightmares this young woman is among them one night has been torturing her for years yet her went mad about mark just cause i'm looking for my mom i'm standing on the street dark and rainy there's a manhole in front of me. then the light comes from inside i look in it sounds weird but i pull my mom out by her hair. and she's not alive anymore

markedly and. before she had that nightmare for the 1st time she had a happy childhood. that was how we used to live in a house with grandma and grandpa that was lovely because grandpa always picked me up from kindergarten someone was always home and i love that i was a daddy's girl and then it was all gone. their parents separated the 5 year old then lived with her mother she was often afraid at night as she was often left alone is that. being alone at night and looking for my mom was horrible. for a long time she feared separation and loss then at $25.00 she started having nightmares each night and could hardly sleep she kept to herself and have panic attacks she was afraid of getting ill but also have to. taking meds she was even afraid of taking out the trash. could the cure after no one could relate to it i felt all

alone and then some started saying pull yourself together i get nightmares to war i don't have any easier. after repeated attempts at getting professional help she made psychologist covered in marks dick. they've met once a week for the past year now she understands where the nightmares came from. thomas and toy. nightmares are dreams characterized by strong negative emotions and the nightmares we process feelings that we can't cope with in our daily lives simply because they're too intense and one treatment for nightmares is called i movement integration o.e.m. i just finished i'm no longer alone i'm no longer alone. the patient watches the pen while hearing certain words. the entire surface of the patient's brain is activated by targeted my movements that means all memory node experiences get

activated so that you can then link the traumatic event to those memories and then the brain can find solutions all by itself. in. writing down her daily experiences has also helped to deal with her nightmares. more for what i write down 5 positive and 5 negative things how they made me feel and what i did in response then i've written them out of my head. the 32 year old has finally come to grips with her past so what are his dreams like now i was very good very nice tree so. if you have a fear of flying a virtual reality trip with a therapist might help you get over it you stay on the ground but it feels like you're in the air it's cold confrontation there. everyday activities that can be stressful such as shopping walking in

a crowd or using public transport bearable for millions with anxiety disorders often getting therapy is the only way to cope with the distress they experience but what can they do if even getting to the therapist presents an insurmountable psychological hurdle a question that brothers union and christian i'm down along with their business partner benedict have long thought about. being a lot of business to a few people realize that anxiety disorders are germany's top mental illness affecting about $10000000.00 people each year. and about 5000000 people in this category have a primary diagnosis such as agra phobia or social phobia or panic disorder that if we put up. with start ups impatient they've developed a form of digital psychotherapy it's to lose a smartphone and factual reality goggles if some patient and the idea for sim

patient and for inverted therapy came from a clinical pilot study with very promising results the idea developed that we could make this easily accessible by using virtual reality via smartphones instead of relying on large scale systems patients won't be left to fend for themselves they're assigned their own certified psycho therapist companies them throughout the entire paradigm but it was on the top of the university medical center. and is the clinical partner for their the art therapy here to the digital therapy is seen as promising is the ep. the 1st of many. which conduct exposure therapy that is exposing the patient to the trigger situation with the a differential reality. of your business we know from experience and from many experiments that these virtual situations work almost as well as when the patient is. s'posed to a real life situation. that is the situation may not be real but the experience

is real and that's what matters. virtual sarah payne is one possible path towards an anxiety free life. is to answer it but more young people are shying away from talking on the phone they say they prefer texting but for some it's an anxiety telephone of. smartphones have completely changed how we communicate with each other. well in the past teenagers would have called their friends now they prefer to message them. thank you a telephone that phone call is so so immediate that you get confronted with a question and you have to answer straight away. whereas with whatsapp or email you have time to think things through and you can make changes to what you've written

something you can't do you want to call them. then see if it's just a question or if i just want to brief exchange with someone i tend to write because then they can answer me when they have time. if the conversation is one that could become a bit unpleasant messaging helps avoid that. the new. layer merits are not alone according to a study into media use among young people just one 5th of those aged between 12 and 19 use their mobile phones to make calls. instead they sent text messages. some of even developed a telephone phobia psychologist barbara schmidt. you know this if you ling of embarrassment. yes when there's an silence or if i don't know the answer to a question. it somehow doesn't. barbara

schmidt researches anxieties and hypnosis at the university of vienna she believes that simple hypnosis techniques can help with telephone call anxiety. you take the telephone in your hand in the number hold it up to you if. all these actions can trigger a feeling they can be anchored through transfer example. i can say that everything will go smoothly and this feeling then becomes connected to every single one of those actions and those actions then trigger the feeling that things will go well it works brilliantly. and it's so simple the spirit. layer on merit like the idea and hope it'll help them choose to make telephone calls more often in future you and. i would. be in good shape your weekly health show on t w covers many aspects of health care we look at what's new in medical treatment nutrition

fitness and beauty. we talk about these topics in depth with experts and give you the chance to pose your own questions so do get in touch. there are various approaches to treating fears anxiety and pain and success is not only is guaranteed researchers are currently exploring whether sniffing sense can prove beneficial their findings are intriguing. sense otis smells accompany our everyday lives we can't see hear or touch them but they are very present and they influence how we feel. being is even more to smell is a deeply emotional sense that's what fascinates me the smell operates in the background. as well as for a long time it wasn't properly appreciated many patients say you any notice how important the sense of smell is once you lose it because.

thomas homer is a physician and special in smell. and this research has found that sense can help in the management of certain diseases because of the direct link between nose and brain. to induce a sense really of factory cells a very short distance from the our factory baldwin which is a part of the brain from there information is passed to brain areas that have a lot to do with memory and emotion to a doctor and she haina is also a specialist in smell she and thomas homer conducted a study of scent and memory with 100 elderly patients the question they wanted to answer was does regular small training enhance cognitive capacities. to have money when we compared small training and playing sudoku smell training did much better with respect to commission for example in these patients less speech became more

fluent. smells enter the know where they are up to 30000000 off the tree cell 1. if they register a scent molecules in the pine or leavened they pass on the information to the brain to the limbic system which is associated with emotion. and to the hippocampus which is associated with memory. there is a direct path from the known to the brain that's why the sense of smell is like a key that opens up faults of memory and emotion. the scent of a biscuit dunked in teen triggers a flood of memories. one sniff of a certain detergent and one is transported back to childhood. sense can engender a feeling of contentment that power can be harnessed to help people with mental

issues. studies suggest that smell training helps some deal with nightmares and sleep disorders. we had 9 of them are we conducted a study with patients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder they had horrible nightmares and slept poorly we exposed some to scents during the night it turned out they slept better and had fewer nightmares than those who just breathed regular air. brainwave patterns indicate that smell is registered by the brain. that is true of pain as well could smell training help treat pain. we see how scents affect the moods and emotions and how they affect cognition specifically attention and concentration these things all play a role in pain as well. manson almost since link could nation and

emotion thinking and feeling the 2 sense scientists contacted good on a pain expert so they could explore possible connections between the sense of smell and perception of pain a woman has lead as the only factory pathways are directly connected to neural nodes in the brain that are important for the perception and evaluation of pain. consider how intense you feel or pain to be about can you perhaps influence that perception by means of sense. of this migraine patients lives the scent of cloves peach orange and lavender containing elise files every morning and evening as part of a study. another study already completed with back pain patients yielded interesting results. i want to underline that one thing we investigated was how intense the pain feels a tiny particular moment we gave the test subjects an electrical stimulus and asked

them to evaluate how painful it was what we found was that after small training pain felt less intense than before patients tolerated more pain and the out of the yard sniffing pleasant sense as a way to come back pain dr gosnell's says her patients seem to appreciate this gentle therapeutic approach. as it has a massage and i was somewhat surprised by our findings the pilot study looked at quite a small number of patients but the results were none the less clear i was also surprised that patients wanted to carry on after the study was completed by tomorrow what sense are on and turns out more influential than one might think and a walk in the woods is also an aromatic adventure that is good for body and soul. that's all for today's edition of in good shape good bye for now and see you next week.
