Anxiety Self Help: How to overcome anxiety (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539129523)

About the Author The author, Alfred Bellanti, came from a working class family. The first hint of anxiety and depression was noticed during his final school years when he was transferred to a different high school. From having been a star pupil he plummeted to the bottom of the class because he lost the ability to focus, concentrate or remember what was being taught in the classroom, especially the mathematics. Alfred experienced deeper bouts of despair and hopelessness and spent more years trying to find meaning in life, through reading, relationships, travel and a few admissions to a clinic. Finally he took on the task of completing his high school subjects. He was admitted to university where he earned a Bachelor of Science. This was indeed very therapeutic for him. From there he took on a course as an external student and earned a Graduate Diploma in Social Science that included Psychology. Later he obtained a Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy and a Diploma in Botanical Medicine and a Certificate in Traditional Chinese Medicine In 1993 he established his practice as a Clinical Hypnotherapist. In 1995 Alfred received a Diploma of Counseling Skills. In 1996 Alfred was certified as a Practitioner of Ericksonian Hypnotherapy. In 1999 Alfred added Medical Herbalism in his practice after qualifying in Botanical Medicine. This was interrupted in 2002 when he suffered a severe cancer that brought him close to death be-cause of the complications after surgery. Alfred found that Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) helped with his recovery after attending a weekend seminar. In 2006 he graduated as a Master Practitioner of NLP, Master Coach of NLP and Master Hypnotherapist. Alfred has helped hundreds of people with a variety of anxiety problems and now shares his knowledge, experience and self help techniques through his writing.
