Well today I had NLP for my emetophobia. I was taught to think differently about it and my anxietys around it. I had to think of a particular situation i've been in and change my thoughts around that. By the end of it I couldnt really picture it as clearly as before. That should hopefully transfer to the rest of my thoughts etc. I also had to discuss what it would actually be like if it did happen, it was silly that I couldnt actually think of why it would be so bad and everything apart from having anxiety but I always have that anyway. But thats the way fears are-people are scared to the fears when realistically it probably wouldnt be so bad. I also have to practice anchoring-relating relaxation to a certain spot on my body (my knee) so that when i have anxiety I can touch the spot and my brain will relate that to relaxing.
Also I'm back eating wheat again because that didnt help. But i'm drinking more water and having more fibre and kiwifruit. I've discovered that citrus seems to give me powel pains and diarrhoea but I havn't found out what causes my constipation and cramps yet. I still have a bad feeling its chocolate so i'm not going to eat it for a month (until the food show).
Lastly I'm going to the dentist next week to see about getting invisalign (teeth straightening without the metal braces). The specialist will be there next week so I can see if it will help with jaw pain and my wonky front tooth.

Keep up the great work darlin'!!!! Let me know if you get the invisalign, I have always been interested in them (my teeth could use a little help!)!!!

Ok. I must remember to ask if straightening my teeth will help my jaw pains or whether maybe just removing my wisdom teeth would help.
Its funny i've just noticed all the ads on this page (to the right hand side)...theres one about IBS, one about NLP and one about invisalign!

Oh yeah, if forgot you have jaw pains (you told me that one time) I had my wisdom teeth removed last fall. I was a baby, cause me and pain, not really friends!!!!! I actually have dentist apt next few weeks, I am also gonna ask about the invisalign!!!!! keep me posted on how your apt goes!

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, I had completely forgotten!
Anyway, I went for the appointment and they weren't very helpful. It wouldn't take much to straighten my teeth, but when I was asking about my jaw they didn't seem to want to answer many of my questions because they weren't related to invisalign. They dont seem to think it would help my jaw, but the lady I go to for NLP gave me some stretches to do because she seems to think it would be from sitting at the computer. Invisalign would cost $7000 so I dont think i'll worry about it at the moment. Also, I went back to the dentist who did my root canal and she said that she can straigten up my wonky tooth at the front anyway, before she puts the crown on. So thats good.
