Social Anxiety Disippates

cysholes — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 02:03:08 +0000

Within the first four sessions with Dr Cindy (a total of a month and a half) she managed to do what no other psychologist could achieve… temper my anxiety and penchant to blush. Prior to attending Dr Cindy’s sessions I tried other forms of therapy to deal with my anxiety and social phobia. I’ve been in and out of therapy for over two years to no avail. Initially I felt there wasn’t any hope for me, since other methods of cognitive behavior development had failed, but the methods she employs to heal have changed my life, for the better, almost instantaneously, Thank You!!

Magnify Your Results with the Two Doctor Approach

cysholes — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:58:20 +0000

“The initial issue that brought me into see Dr Cindy was my insomnia. For 3 months prior I was having severe insomnia issues. I tried OTC medications and herbs recommended by a nutritionist, but there was no significant relief. I shared this with my friend, and he passed along how Dr Cindy had helped his sleep issues.I started to get results with Cindy after the first visit, my sleep was mainly restored. I continued to see Dr Cindy afterwards because I could see that accessing and removing (or softening) the sources of emotional pain and anxiety would help restore my health and well being in a way that went beyond a nutritional detox approach. On my third visit I started to see both Dr Ginger and Dr Cindy. Dr Ginger worked on my jaw, back, and neck. After my first session with Dr Ginger I felt more relief from stress and pain than I had ever experienced before (after 6 years of chiropractic care elsewhere). She helped me to understand through treatment and discussion the correlation between my pain in various regions of my body and how it was related to both emotions and past events. I then carried this into my session with Dr Cindy and she was able to help me clear those sources of pain. Sessions with Dr Ginger and Dr Cindy have led to breakthroughs in insomnia pain, my vitality and my sense of wellness. I have recommended both Dr Ginger and Dr Cindy to my friends. One has seen both a few times so far and has experienced similar breakthroughs, my other friend has had his first appointment. If you are having difficulty in recovering from pain nutritional deficiency and or insomnia, I recommend visiting vitality gateway and explore and alternate healing path.”

Magic Tools to Mend Relationships

cysholes — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:52:56 +0000

By Dr. Cindy Sholes

Relationships are hard, and the ones you care about the most seem to be the hardest! At least this has been my “truth” lately. For the pas few years I have watched my beautiful teenage daughter drift away. The fun and love that we once had in our relationship somehow morphed into an ugly, cold, and often wordless, distance. Every attempt I made to connect with her just made things worse. And I found myself getting more and more frustrated with her and afraid of the destructive trajectory she (and our relationship) seemed to be traveling on. Things were going the wrong way, and I felt powerless to stop them, at least until recently.

In December, because my heart was breaking, I reached out to a colleague, Paul Sterling, for help. I feel blessed to have found answers in his work. The good news is that reconnecting and turning things around turned out to be simpler than I thought. Within the first 10 min of listening to Paul’s “5 Mistakes” recording I realized that the way I communicated with my daughter was the main problem. Instead of making a connection with her the way I wanted, most of my communication with her was building a case against her and telling her what she needed to do to fix her problems. Another hour or so into Paul’s recordings I understood how I could change things around, make a connection and get my needs and hers met. I have continued to gain insights and tools with the “4 Steps” and “7 Paths” recordings.

The insights I gained from listening to Paul’s tapes were helpful but not always easy to apply. I am grateful to be able to receive coaching from Paul which gives me the support I need to put his tools into practice. My challenges with my daughter have not resolved fully, but now I see a solution and more than a glimmer of hope as I use the new tools I was taught by my colleague. Although there is work to do, love is coming back, understanding is coming back, and communication is again possible.

I have been so excited about the simplicity of Paul’s method and the effectiveness of his coaching that I couldn’t wait to share what I learned with you. If you have been in the office in the last few of weeks you probably heard me talk about Paul Sterling’s Relationship Magic Method*. You can get access to Paul’s work in several ways:

eBook—Stop in The Name of Love
MP3s—The Magic Relationship Method
Private—Can You Hear Me Now Coaching
Workshops and tele-seminars

* Paul Sterling works with couples who still love each other but are having communication/intimacy problems that may destroy the relationship.

Paul is the creator of The Magic Relationship Method, and he is an author, public speaker, intimacy coach and certified tantric educator who helps couples increase the amount of physical and emotional intimacy they experience in their lives and their relationships.

Professional success ripples out to loved ones.

I started working with Dr. Sholes 6 years ago. I went to her because I work with a lot of professionals and was having difficulty talking to physicians. She was able to not only make that process much easier but I continued to work with her off and on over a year or so. I doubled my revenue over that time period and she was an important part of that process. I now own a million dollar company. I used her kind of like a business coach. In addition, over the years she helped many of my patients and several friends with fears of heights, weight issues, anxiety, stress and claustrophobia.

I am probably most thankful for her services when she treated my mother with NET during her last months of my mother’s life. My mother lost her fears of her illness, her anxiety calmed down and she became calmer and was much happier. The hospice folks said they had never seen such a peaceful person during the ending of her life. Dr. Sholes came to her house 3 times. I can not say enough about her contributions.

Dr. Sholes has a very gentle and extremely calm manner and she is comfortable even with the most stressful situations and people. She is insightful and gets to the the heart of an issue quickly and bypasses possible distress and drama. She is quick and effective.

I highly recommend her services. You will not be disappointed.

Are You Out of Your Mind?

cysholes — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 02:10:46 +0000

Do you sometimes feel like you are avoiding something but don’t know exactly what? Does your “dark side” scare you? Are you pretty sure you have it handled so you never have to experience it?

I have noticed a lot of my clients (and sometimes myself too) take on avoidance behaviors that aren’t effective in the long term. This might be over-eating when you are alone, bored, or even just to extend meal time. It might be keeping yourself so busy that you don’t have any “free” time to be alone with your thoughts. Maybe for you it is waking in the middle of the night feeling anxious for no apparent reason.

If any of this sounds familiar to you, you might be in avoidance of your “default mind state”. What is this? It is the state of mind that your brain goes into when it has nothing to do. It used to be called the brains “resting state” until brain imaging studies determined that your brain is in fact more active in this state than when you are focused on a task. If the brain is so active at “rest” then what could it be doing?

Well studies show that when your brain is focused on nothing in particular it begins to think more. We all have random thoughts that are all over the place and often go in circles, causing us stress or suffering because of their negative content. Sound familiar?

Buddhists call this active mind state “monkey mind”.
Although the monkey mind is a natural state, it usually isn’t a very effective state because of the chronic stress that it causes. Sometimes this default state causes so much stress that we avoid it and begin to think of it as our “dark” side. Unfortunately there is no avoiding it entirely and our attempts only cause us more stress.

What can you do about this? Most wisdom traditions such as Buddhism, yogic practice, mystic traditions in Christianity and Judaism teach meditation or prayer which brain studies now show lead to a settling of the brains default state and over time reduce the negative thinking and suffering.

Because so many people find meditation to be inaccessible I created a short (10 min.) guided meditation called “Calming the Monkey” mind which can help even the most reluctant meditator find a more comfortable mind state. You can download this meditation for free by visiting my website at Mind Wave Institute.

If you have listened to the meditation and are still struggling with default state avoidance then maybe it is time to come in for a session. There is an extremely effective NET technique that will settle your default mind state in a way that allows you comfort in your experience of it. Basically it is a rapid technique for peace of mind.
