Secret To Problem-Solving: Why Understanding Issues Is The First Step To Healing | Stress Management

Christoffel Sneijders argues that personal problems stem from five interconnected layers: mind, body, guiding values, behavior, and environment. Most therapists address only one layer, which limits lasting change. True healing requires working on all five simultaneously through an integrated approach.

Zeg je hebt een issue en denkend over het oplossen van het, maar tot nu toe je niet echt succesvol bent in dat. En je denkt: hoe kan ik dat beter doen? En wel, je denkt over het, je denkt over je issue wat je hebt, of misschien issues die je hebt. In dezelfde moment, je begint te denken. How would it feel? How would I think? How would I behave if I did not have that issue anymore or issues? How would I feel? How happy would I be? How healthy would I be? And then you become aware that your issue could have a lot of connections. You think about it could have a connection with the past, events that are not solved, traumatic experiences in your past that are still putting you down. Sometimes we call that a depression. And you think about future events. The fear you have for the future, the ambiguities, the things you worry about, the things you think, am I really happy about those things? What will happen if it happens? And if it really goes on, we call that somewhere like an anxiety. Anxiety. And we have anxieties in all different kinds of ways, from social anxieties to panic attacks to just the normal fears we have. Because when we talk about fears, we talk about emotions. And anxieties and depression can create emotions. Depression, we talk about sadness, grief, unhappiness, and we like to solve all those kinds of things. Maar we zijn denken, hoe doen we dat? En besides deze drie, we kunnen ook gevoelens hebben: gevoelens van een zware tummy, gevoelens van een zware nek, gevoelens van een zware bek, gevoelens van een zware muscle soms. En we weten niet waar dat komt vandaan. En naast de gevoelens die we in ons lichaam kunnen hebben, kunnen we ook bewust zijn dat onze chakras, onze energievelden niet in lijn zijn. En de energie we hebben, is niet vloeiend door onze zeven chakras. Dus we don't glow op dat moment meer. De energie is niet werken. En naast dat, de gevoelens we hebben, we kunnen ook echt een fysieke probleem hebben. Dus we kunnen echt een lichaamprobleem hebben in onze botten, in onze muskels, in een stiftsomnes. And we don't know what to do with it. So we can have energy healing, body healing to solve those kind of things. And the third entity, you could say, is our behavior. How do we behave in certain situations, and how does it contribute or not contribute to an issue we have? If you shout to somebody, it could influence the response. And how is our Behavior dictated is about all our thoughts we have. And we have indicated something like 35 thought patterns that contribute to an issue. That can be from black and white thinking to catastrophizing something or just have an always negative or an always positive attitude in it. And the thought patterns we have dictate our behavior, could dictate our— are connected with our body feelings, with our past, with our emotions, our future. En waar is dat komend van? En just one step back, let's go back to the values we have. The values that are coming from our parents, coming from our social background, from our friends, from where we are born, that contribute how we think and how we behave, and how we deal with depressions or past, and how we deal with future, and also how to deal with our emotions. So there is somewhere are interconnected. And then besides the values, we run on a daily basis, and that's really amazing, our justice system. And our justice system decides what is right and what is wrong. You cannot go through red, of course that's wrong. You can drive through green, that's right. And we have all those ideas about what's right and wrong about people, politicians, sport, and all those kind of things. En dat justissysteem creëert hoe we dealen met dingen die gebeuren aan ons. En ons justissysteem is een deel van ons grotere geloofssysteem. Dat is al de dingen die we geloven dat zijn juist of verkeerd in een groter probleem. Wat dictaat wat we moeten en moeten doen, wat we moeten doen en moeten niet doen. Dus we kunnen zeggen dat zijn al de dingen die verbonden zijn met onze geest. En hoe we store de dingen in onze head en hoe we perceive the world. So we have something like a different systems. And what we say about belief system, justice system, and values—that's our guiding system that guides us and navigates us through this life. And it connects with the thought patterns we have, the behavior we have, and it connects. Also how we deal with our body issues, because somewhere they come from us. If we feel stress, most times we feel it in our body, and still we like to solve it. We like to have that solution somewhere. So how do we do that? Where are we coming from? Where should we seek the answer? Looking at all those different parameters that are there: our mind, our guiding system, our body. The experiences we had in the past, the things we worry about the future, the emotions we have. So I can go to the mind doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, hypnotherapists, counselors. You can go work on your body and you can go to physiotherapists, Reiki, naturopaths, acupuncture, all those little things to work on it. But they're all specialized in one specific topic. Where they try to tweak that little button. And what is now so important, that the mind, the body, the guiding systems, the things that happened in the past, that happened in the future, are all connected. So to remaster ourselves, to remaster yourself, you have to look at the whole approach. How do we deal with our body, our mind, our guiding system, the things in the past, the things in the future, our emotions? So we developed a Remaster Yourself workshop. 3.5 days where we dive into the knowledge and into the solution. Love to see you in March. Have a beautiful day. Cheers, Christoffel. Bye.
