How Autogenics helps

The greatest benefit of all is learning how to keep your stress at the optimum level so that it works for you (stimulation, challenge, purpose) rather than against you (stress overload or burnout / illness).
Autogenic Training is a remarkable life skill which is applicable in many situations.
There can be no promise as to outcome. Of course we know that AT is not a panacea for all ills. It is up to you to carry out your own treatment. The examples here are by no means an exhaustive list.  

Physiological Problems

Irritable bowel syndrome

Once you learn how to switch off your stress response, your symptoms have a chance to recover.

Headaches / migraine

There is a good chance you can reduce or eliminate these debilitating symptoms from your life.

Chronic fatigue syndrome & M.E. Fibromyalgia

These chronic pain and fatigue conditions are frightening and in some cases long-lasting. AT will always help the attendant distress, and may in time, boost the recovery process.

Any condition/symptom made worse by stress:

Asthma – reduce the use of inhalers and steroid medication
Heart disease – high blood pressure, angina, stroke. AT can help rehabilitation and prevent further problems.
Skin disorders (eg eczema) – symptoms may flare up then usually reduce or disappear.
Ulcers (bowel and other) - the high states of alertness / anxiety with which these symptoms are associated can be markedly reduced.

Psychological Problems

Sleep problems

Many people find it hard to stop ‘mind chatter’ as they go to sleep. AT takes your attention to the body in its relaxed state and greatly enhances your getting-to-sleep ability.

Anxiety / panic attacks

Anxiety can mask other emotions, or cause them. AT helps address this at a root cause level.

Low self-esteem

AT usually increases self-confidence. This helps relationships at home and work. 

Poor concentration

This can mask other emotional issues. Using AT can help to bring clarity and personal resolve to your life. Then concentration returns.

Low energy

This may well be associated with a debilitating physical condition. Or it may be a symptom in its own right.

Mild depression

You may react to difficult times (losing a job, relationship, a loved one) by getting on with the things you have to attend to, and unwittingly leaving unresolved emotional conflict inside. AT helps to resolve things gently, so that your mood improves.
