Hi There is a simple Bodytalk technique called the Cortices technique which you can either be shown/ having it done to you or you can learn from www.bodytalksystem.com (Just click the box on the bottom centre of the home page) Try this as it will definately help to get both your left and right sides of your brain functioning together. I also feel you need to deal with the trauma you have experienced. A combination of Bodytalk and First Light Flower essence would clear the trauma so you can get back your life and start thinking clearly again. I have a clinic in Auckland but I also work via email, phone or skype. If you havent already found relief please call me 027 507 9944 or email

This is not so much something to worry about, more something to take action on now.
Anxiety, and being overtired are triggers. If you do not have the right amount or nutrients in your diet or if the food and drink you have is depleting the nutrients your body needs you will be more likely to have anxiety and be over-tired. All a bit of a viscous circle - no surprise it has been going on so long.
I suggest Food State supplements Vitamin B complex and Food State Magnesium at very least. Better still a Full Naturopathic Consultation to help prioritise diet, relaxation techniques, exercise and possibly herbal medicine and other supplements to support your Nervous system, and your adrenal glands which are likely to be exhausted after long term stress. You did not say the ages of your children - if born around the time of your Grandmothers death or since then it is likely you have further nutrient depletion.
So all fixable with support, time and focus. Click my link to make your appointment or for more information. Keep positive - Jaine

Thank you for posting details about what you are going through.
I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Hypnoenergetics Specialist, in these sessions we engage the subconscious mind (as well as the conscious mind) to enable clients to discover the deeper reasons behind their behaviours.
It is through this deep awareness that you will discover more about yourself in a very empowering way, and then you will be able to find the real reason of why you are doing this behaviour as well as be able to heal this part of yourself.
In this session, you will be able to change the belief inside your mind that is linked to this behaviour and you will be able to release the energy (emotion) stored within your body, which can also trigger your behaviour.

Hi there,
I can understand how frustrating this can be for you - I have had a similar problem personally. For me, if my mind has moved onto thinking about something else before I've finished the sentence or I'm not fully focussed on what I'm trying to say this will happen. It's a matter of practicing being present, slowing down, and focussing on one thing at a time. Sometimes you may just need to stop and think before you speak. Dealing with stress and anxiety which could trigger or exacerbate the problem would be worth considering. If you would like support in learning these skills and techniques, I would be happy to help.
Kind regards,
Helen

Certain flower essences can help, I've had success with similar cases. It's a cost-effective way to correct the situation, write to
[email protected] or call 0274 850 038 if you want to experiment. I'm in the Auckland area; if you're not local we can have a telephone consult and I can post you a remedy.
Cheers, Bill

Hi there,
I have seen this problem before, and I wonder if you also have difficulty finding the correct word for an object or an idea as well.
I have observed a great improvement in these symptoms with the naturally occurring supplement CDP Choline, and it is possible that it may also be effective for you.
Research has found this supplement to be effective at improving memory and cognitive function. CDP Choline is not currently available in New Zealand, but can be purchased online from iherb.com
Please let me know if you would like more information on a suggested manufacturer, dosage and time-frame for improvements.

Hi there.
As frustrating as this is, it's not all that uncommon. In fact my mother used to run through a bit of a names list until she hit the one she was after!!
However, there are possibly some things that you are (or are not) doing that could improve your brain function, and thus minimise this for you.
That's a bit beyond the scope of this forum unfortunately - so I suggest you see a naturopathic consultant for a comprehensive health, diet and lifestyle assessment.
From that an individualised plan can be created specific for you.
All the best,
Sharon

HI there
sorry to hear about your problem. From my perspective the key point in the story is you say you were traumatized by your grandmothers death, and started getting mixed up words within days. Since then you've added some stress by worrying about mixing up your words. So it sounds like you are just stuck in a pattern at the moment, and luckily patterns like that are often quickly and surprisingly easy to address.
So have hope! I would start by dealing with the "trauma", which should be a pretty quick and graceful process using the right mix of NLP and a few other tools. Then, once your system has calmed down and rebalanced itself, we could see what is left to do. I suspect the words issue will cease to be a problem, but there are ways of addressing that if necessary. cheers
