What’s A Session Like?
On the first session, we work with clients for typically between 1 and 2 hours. During this time we’ll generally do the following;
- complete client information form
- complete anxiety assessments
- complete a broader risk assessment
- coaching of new skills
- talking therapies that are solution focused and derived from NLP Clinical Therapy and Solution Focused Counselling
- work that changes how we process information at a subconscious level utilising talking therapies and coaching
- schedule a follow up
Since anxiety can have links in to other areas of people’s lives, the time needed to successfully complete treatment varies. Where anxiety issues are of a more complex nature, follow up coaching sessions are scheduled to make sure that clients work fully through all that is needed for them to no longer get anxious. Clients are not being taught to manage anxiety rather the anxiety is removed so they no longer have it. Removing the anxiety takes around 30 minutes. The work prior to this can take 30 minutes to 12 hours and is typically 1- 3 hours.
What do clients typically experience after completing Shinnick Anxiety Coaching?
At the end of the Shinnick Rapid Anxiety Treatment, clients often report increased confidence; increased life choices; a desire to positively change, (for example changing their clothes, furnishings or appearance). Some anxiety clients may be experiencing IBS, physical trembling and watery eyes. After treatment the IBS will typically significantly reduce or disappear, the shaking and watery eyes would typically cease immediately. Where there may have been an overwhelming fear of life, it is replaced with an increased desire to live life. Clients also report that they feel much more in control of their emotions after the session/s.
With the Shinnick Method Rapid Anxiety Treatment we work with clients for only a small number of sessions. This differs from many other types of therapy which involve clients talking about the problems in their life, going through the problems in depth and talking about them through many sessions. We don’t support this practice, primarily because these behaviours can help to reinforce patterns of anxiety.
Our aim is to help clients move to where they want to be, and have them finally let go of the processes they had been running internally that had been causing them to be anxious.
