Donna Blinston 2 Comments Featured Guests, Health, Inspiration, Mental Health, Other Shows, The NLP View Radio Show

Addiction is a catch-all term for a complex behavioral disorder that is typically characterized by the inability to stop the repetitive behavior in spite of the harmful consequences. The most obvious symptom is that addicts reach a point where they cannot control their own actions. They continue the compulsive behavior because it provides a temporary escape from their problems. Addictions can develop from a myriad of activities such as alcohol, drugs, eating, gambling, shopping, sex and use of the internet,etc. According to the American Society for Addiction Medicine (2012) addiction is defined as the continued use of a mood altering substance or behavior despite adverse dependency consequences or a neurological impairment leading to such behaviors.

About Addictions provides a perspective for clear thinking about what to do, rather than how to feel about addiction and addiction spectrum disorders.

Donna Blinston 1 Comment Featured Guests, Health, Mental Health, The NLP View Radio Show

“How Are Babies Made?” This is an inevitable question that every parent dreads, one question that should not be difficult to answer. With all the technology and information that is available, how is it possible that adults remain tongue-tied and clueless over explaining what in reality, is merely basic and mundane facts about life?

Sex education can propose difficulties for parents, especially those who feel out of touch with today’s world. Neuro linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach that can be used for sex education. NLP enables the parent to understand the pressures their child faces and relate to their child in a way that allows this potentially difficult conversation to flow smoothly. Sex is a normal and natural part of life. It is often our personal experiences, attitudes and beliefs around sex that impact our perception of sex and how we explain it to our children.

Seeing Spells Achievingenables you to look at things from a new perspective and enjoy a whole new world.

NLP offers a series of unblocking and transference techniques to help dyslexic’s overcome any psychological barriers that have been created.

Learning difficulties are often exacerbated by worry and stress, causing the dyslexic individual to focus on the possible negative events that might happen. Linking back to previous negative events and emotions, produced by experiences in the individual’s past. This affects an individual’s self-esteem and confidence, further compounding the worry and/or stress. Seeing Spells Achieving provides a series of tools that will enable the reader to deal with words much easier. Each section builds upon the one before, taking the reader through a series of exercises that change their perspective and spelling abilities. Dyslexia is a gift of at least above average intelligence, a change of perspective and visualisation is all that is required to reach your full potential.
