Human is a bio-psycho-social creature. Biological part; They are concrete information codes patterned by DNA that carry generational transmission and are passed from generation to generation. Our genes. Most of our biochemical cycle is carried over from upstream genes. The learning process, for example the taste receptors on our tongue, begins to be encoded in the womb. We can roughly think of this as the ground of a house that exists before the house is built.
We can say that psychology is the relationship, emotion and behavioral exchange that a person establishes with himself and his environment. We start learning as of infancy.
The social part is the determining environmental conditions such as the district where this building is located, the zoning permit of that building, its protection against earthquakes, and neighbor relations. In the first period of human development, people will learn to speak within the boundaries of the culture they are affiliated with. The structure you were born into; It is the base part that determines your expression, economic class, moral strata, gender roles, educational structure, identity and belief. In general, we do not know the outside by what we are fed from within, but the inside by what we are fed from outside.
Every culture brings with it at least 3 pathological predispositions for every person. One of the most common chronic findings caused by the culture, agenda and relationships we live in is anxiety-related experiential problems defined as anxiety.
I made a broad start in the introduction because trying to explain Anxiety with singular situations will generally direct us to the consequences of the existing situation, not to its causes. What matters in pathological findings related to anxiety is not the results, but the causes. To give a few examples of the results:
- Fear of flying,
- A claustrophobic experience that may occur in elevators or narrow cabins,
- Anxiety about being deceived,
- To close people around us. thought of being harmed,
-Sensitivities related to hygiene,
-Driving a vehicle,
-Crossing a bridge).
These experiences are not the source of the problem, but are situations that occur at tipping points and are accompanied by anxiety.
Usually verbally detailed � We can think of all the negative experiences that are difficult to express, where the feeling of being trapped in the moment is felt, and to which our body reacts out of the norm (such as not being able to breathe, increased heart rhythm, noticeable increase in pulse, spasmic stomach, muscle aches) as the results of anxiety.
We can measure anxiety problems through the reality of the stimulus. For example, imagine that there is a dog chasing you by barking behind you. In order to avoid being harmed, we probably try to get rid of this threat with all our strength, adhering to the fight or flight principle. All systems in our body will become alert with the hormones secreted into the brain. Our body temperature increases, our veins expand, cortisol hormone release increases, our pupils dilate, and our breathing changes. In panic, our temperature increases. This threat, alarm state is a positive reaction for our physical integrity. It keeps us alive. What if our body shows these reactions to the possibility of a barking dog when there is no barking dog in sight?
Anxiety problems are simply defined as our body and emotions being under pressure as if a threat is experienced in situations where the stimulus is not real. We can define.
These experiences may be nourished by bio-genetic roots (from family genes) or may arise as a result of negative experiential experiences, losses, addictions, traumas or depressed lives.
Many variables such as the content of anxiety experiences, their severity, depth, how long they have been going on, what period they started with, with whom they were shared, and whether they were learned will determine the basis of the study, that is, the intervention for treatment. The most common question regarding this topic is about what will be good for these negative experiences. However, it is almost impossible to provide a result-oriented common recipe. Just as it is important for a textile product you wear to be designed according to your dimensions, it is most important to work with tailoring precision without anxiety.
Therapy schools and interventions vary depending on the situation and the content of the emotion.
In some cases, psychiatric supplements play the most important role, while in other cases, a regular exercise program will help us get to the point we want.
How does a loss or negative experience we encounter at one time in our lives spread to the future?
Although it is an aphaky example, the war metaphor for anxiety experiences can make it easier to understand. Imagine that the country that was once your next-door neighbor invaded your territory and you suffered loss of life, property and land. After this period, you may need to design an army to be ready in case of an unexpected attack. A large, powerful and new army. However, gathering this army will require you to invest most of your time, effort and money here. This issue will be on the agenda.
Then let's think about it
Won't the existence of such an army put you in the psychology of war every day?
What if you don't get attacked again? What will you do with this army?
In the example given above, the Diplomacy-Bureaucracy process will come into play to prevent conflicts between countries and to achieve common consensus. We need a safe space after periods of war in our individual lives. Acting as if we do not need this space may bring the war to the center of our lives in the future, which is about being on alert at all times, even if there is no real war outside. Generally, a person or a relationship causes the disruption of this area, but the collector of this experience is another person, a relationship.
Fear, anxiety, anxiety and stress experiences triggered by artificial stimuli will increase biological and psychological damage. In the long term, parts of the body that ensure the functionality of our body, such as sleep, nutrition, cardio system and digestion, may be damaged.
Negative findings related to anxiety problems (depending on the severity of the situation) will decrease with the treatment process.
Not because the person fell into the river. He drowns because he is under water. Experiences such as swallowing water, struggling, and cramping when we fall are part of learning to swim. It is inherent.
