This combination set the stage for high anxiety (p. vi). Anxiety is produced due to a lack of important brain chemical called neurotransmitters, Hart calls them “happy messengers” (p. 4). Hart (2001) explains how being stressed or over extended; our brains are deficient in these “happy messengers”. Examples of these include serotonin or noradrenalin. We also have “sad messengers” that carry somber messengers. Some examples of these include cortisol and enzymes (p. 20).

To balance these messengers we must set stress level limits and know when to disallow other to cross these limits (p.24). To restore these messengers can include temporarily taking anti-anxiety medication, and focusing on the stress in your life and discovering ways to make life changes (p. 24). He also explains how stress is connected to the overuse of the adrenal glands (p.5). A mild form of anxiety...

The sum of these techniques constitutes what many professionals have come to call “Repatterning." It's also known as "thought reform," "hypnotic programming", "mental conditioning," and “mind control”. These techniques involve the systematic breakdown of a person's sense of self. Patty Hearst, heiress to the Hearst publishing fortune, became famous in the 1970s after she was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army, which has come to be known as a "political cult”.
