These people believe that they are worthless and see very little value in their own lives. They generally have very poor self-image and don't have the will to succeed in life.

These people become very dependant on the approval of others to give them small boosts of esteem and to reinforce their worth positively.

I have found that if I really need or want some material thing or state to be mine, the first thing to do is clearly articulate in my mind what it is exactly that I want. And the second most important step is to expel any feelings of need or want - just to let it go.

Then sooner or later, what it was I wanted would materialize! Whenever I could do this, I enjoyed amazing results. Conversely, if I fretted or lusted it would never happen. It has been a revelation to me, now to have this phenomenon explained by your release the need technique and to show me how it applies to all three basic needs: acceptance, control, and security.

And the second most important step is to expel any feelings of need or want - just to let it go.

Negative thoughts can be things you think about yourself that you remind yourself of daily,or talking negatively about yourself. Then sooner or later, what it was I wanted would materialize! Whenever I could do this, I enjoyed amazing results. Conversely, if I fretted or lusted it would never happen. It has been a revelation to me, now to have this phenomenon explained by your release the need technique and to show me how it applies to all three basic needs: acceptance, control, and security. " Another effect of Negative thoughts is the self-pity that they have to deal with on a daily basis. They feel remorseful for themselves and blame life for not cutting them in on any breaks. They will eventually end up with a very cynical out look on everything, always looking for a catch in the silver lining.

They create a barrier around themselves wanting to stay inside their shell of self-pity. They push people away because of their own unrealistic fears and regrets. Many people who suffer from prolonged negative thoughts are often diagnosed as chronic depressive simply because most of the symptoms are the same.

I normally have experienced various levels of stress and anxiety in interpersonal relations. During and after using the techniques I experienced the ability to relate to other people without the anxiety and stress. I am now able just to experience myself in the moment and not feel

I need to please or justify myself, or sound intelligent, or have the 'right answer.' I found I am able to let things be and not to react to others' anger or upset, and not to feel responsible for others' anger or upset or grief. By not reacting as I formerly did, I am able to communicate from my heart clearly and effectively."

This man's career and personal life were in shambles simply because he was plagued with anxiety and stress. He was constantly worried about saying and doing the right thing and he was putting himself under an incredible amount of strain. Once he used the release the need technique, he began to notice that his life was vastly improving, both socially and at work.

"Since I've started using the release the need technique my wife says it's like living with a different person. Anyone who hasn't suffered from depression has no idea of the awfulness of it. Now I feel liberated. In fact, early on I could get quite scared that this technique would fail like all the others ultimately have; thank God, two months down the line, I'm doing really well after about fifty years of feeling like I did, to varying degrees, (since the age of about five). The irony is that I am in practice as a therapist and enjoy a healthy success rate with my clients for all sorts of psychological problems. So the frustration of not being able to find my own solution was immenseTHE FIRST STEP

The first step in releasing the need is to come to terms with what you need to release. The easiest way to do this is to keep a journal and make regular entries to monitor your behavior patterns.

List making is a journaling technique and is often used to quickly jot down a numbered record on topics; there's a special type of list technique that moves beyond a simple itemization and into the realm of significant self-awareness.

This special technique has several names, including table-of-contents, life chapters, etc. Using this technique the writer lists their most important life events, as though they were chapter headings in an autobiography. Keep the list from ten to twelve and incorporate only the most life changing events.

Some Example Items May Include:

1. A family member dies when you are young.

2. An event that confuses you as a young child for example, a parent leaving for a time due to illness.

3. A loss of a loved one without closure, maybe they died in another state or unexpectedly

4. Something may have happened that you felt unable to control. I loved love getting hurt and your inability to help

5. A love affair breaks away 6. A death of a parent 7. Some dreadful event that hurt you. A crime against you 8. Marriage 9. Childbirth or loss

10. Divorce

 Do you notice the lack of happy events? Write a paragraph about each, realizing how many unresolved issues you carry with you–and how they impacted your ability to be content. As you do this exercise several times, you'll find your choice of events changing.

Sometimes your family crisis is the most important thing on the list, and other times it won't make the top 10 or 12 at all. Why? Because the list reflects the issues that cry out for attention.

Then work on a second list. Listing only thing that affected your life in good ways. Writing a paragraph on each. Affirming that good things have happened in your life…letting you dwell on these things. Do the list journal once a year. Pick a date, a birthday, anniversary, etc.

We will be discussing the second step, of The Release Technique called: Journaling to Affirm the Positive in the article to follow I look forward to informing you and together we WILL END ANXIETY
