Human mind functions in a frame governed by rules. And these rules govern our perceptions. Perceptions tell you what is useful for you and what gets in your way, like a value system. The most important thing is, your perception tells you what you Don’t have to pay attention to. As long as your frame is functional, you can ignore most of the world and that means your chronic stress level can be way lower than it normally would be.

Our work here is to tweak your frame. Whether it is a minor adjustment, a major overhaul or just an accommodation, we will start with micro-adjustments at the highest resolution level - Nourish the roots, and the leaves will benefit. Then we can integrate the enhanced value system within the broader society, so now the society is not existing towards you as a continual obstacle and making your life miserable. 

Acute stress, on the other hand, is an ancient carryover that is keeping our species alive but constantly undermining our living standard. It’s based on hardwired biological mechanisms which creates overwhelming stress responses, very fast and very furiously. But the good news is this system is generic, giving us the advantage to control it! You may be pleasantly surprised to easily put a break on stress, in real-time, with some simple neuroscientifically proven tricks. 

There are long-standing psychological processes and physiological protocols which can increase your medium-term stress threshold to better prepare you going forward, so come get them!

Tangerine's approach:

1. Practice the fastest real-time technique to reduce affective distress and physiological arousal (1):

   1. Leveraging autonomic nervous system through Respiration protocol, works within seconds. 

   2. EFT Tapping (2) to break the negative energy pattern within minutes.

   3. powerful Hypnotic Suggestion for non-sleep deep rest and/or calm sleeping. 

2. Psychological and Hypnotic* processes to find out the intrinsic cause of your specific stress. (Stressful situations might just be triggers, and the stress you felt were just responses, although very real and uncomfortable. The root cause can go way deeper, and way back). Some causes can be:

   1. Personality type 

   2. Trauma or past bad experience

   3. Uncertainty

   4. Gene expression

3. Psychological, Cognitive and Hypnotic* processes to resolve the root cause of your specific stress accordingly. Rewire your ‘frame’ so the same stressful situations are no longer triggering. Some examples can be:

   1. Personality type being high in neuroticism - Counseling and Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT) and Conditioning.

   2. Post traumatic stress - Hypnotherapy* and Counselling to rewrite your value system; Neuroscientific protocols to build new brain circuits and chemicals. ​​

   3. Uncertainty e.g. financial stress - Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and other psychological effort processes, for self-mind-regulation and motivation. 

   4. Feeling Depressed - Neuroscientific protocols to change brain circuits and chemicals, Hypnotherapy* and Counselling to reframe your mindset. 

4. Homework will be given to train yourself to stay calm while your body is activated through deliberate physiology leverage so to upgrade your medium-term stress threshold**

5. Stress has an undeniable mind-body connection. Mindfulness is really mind-listen-ness, not only meditation. Develop keen awareness of what stresses you out, and what relaxes you. Then you can recognise the triggers beforehand, but not attaching to them and diminishing their effects, replacing them with what delights you, through Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MBCT). (Scientifically proven to be as effective as drugs for clinical-level depression (3))
