Experience anxiety and watching a horror film is not much different.
It is not fun because you think it is real, and the other is fun because you know it's not real. Knowing that it is a complete fabrication that you pay money for, Freddy Krueger and Jason can entertain you while you scare the pants off you.
What happens if you get in the middle of a thriller, turn on the lights and start to remind everyone that it is only an illusion, and that everything is invented? More importantly, we will arrive at a way to change our response to anxiety so that we are back in control, so Jason and Freddy are behind us or not.
Anxiety is a response to a threat which is not true.
The most important distinction is the key that opens the door to their suffering.
The problem with anxiety and panic is to be fooled into believing that, since it seems real, then it must be real. This unfounded assumption us avoid people, places and things that we used to enjoy.
And when we avoid anxiety, we can make it stronger.
But the problem is that you can never escape where we are, wherever you go, there we are. We are already where we run, even if we do not recognize. When we see the wisdom can not escape, we are faced with what is before us. So you saw a movie in IMAX? If you do not have it, you should. The highest resolution in the world of cameras for an intimate and virtual experience. This goes to the cinema to forget you're in the movies.
The memory of my first IMAX experience is still etched in my mind. More than three decades later, he is still alive and impossible to forget.
The opening scene was a helicopter slowly rises above a street in the Philadelphia neighborhood, then hovering over the city at low altitude. We never saw the helicopter, but because of the sensation of floating, you knew that you were one.
There is no framework for the image is larger, taller and wider than its field of vision. You are completely immersed in the scene, believing that you are a part of the scene. You really like flying when you are well above a layer of clouds or slow moving water.
It is very fun because you think it is real.
And it only costs five dollars to feel like you are flying like Superman! The sound in an IMAX film is so accurate that you can hear a pin drop across the room and know exactly where it landed. You not only see and hear an IMAX movie - you feel in your bones.
All limits fall, and is closely in the center of the action, feeling every sight and sound designed.
As the IMAX experience, anxiety and panic attacks hold hostage. As you feel it in your bones, you do not question the validity of that body and mind are telling you.
But this time, it is not funny at all, because you think it is real.
Do you believe that if you feel in your bones, it must be true. The part of the brain that is designed to keep you safe working - and there is time and a half pay!
It is wrong in the sense that there is no real danger involved. If it is not real, then it must be illusory. However, it is a very convincing projection, even illusory.
Knowing that it is only an imaginary movie playing in your head, you are not caught by it. Knowing that it is only an imaginary movie playing in your head, you give yourself the opportunity to opt out of it and watch it unfold without being tortured by him.
You are completely safe. What you do not believe the power to torture him.
If you find yourself feeling tortured, it simply means that you are believing what is being projected.
In fact, you are in the movie and you know you are in the theater - even a front row seat.
The truth is that anxiety is invasive, painful and confusing. It is almost as fun as showing for the wedding of his best friend in a bad hair day. But, fortunately, it is also curable.
