This is a position that nobody wants to be in. This is the hell for proponents of character and self improvement. This is where we do not want to be – and once we surrender to this, there is almost no where to turn again. It is a dark place, treacherous and full of quicksand patches of depression, anger and irrational fear that can sink us further into this hole in our life. What happens when you experience overwhelming self-doubt?

You feel that you are no longer yourself. You look in the mirror and can barely recognise the man or woman that stares back at you, haggard, shoddy. These hands are not yours that raise to shield away the reflection you see before you. The voice is not yours that brands yourself a failure and the floor has overtaken your vision as you look down – realising the disaster that gazes back at you with even a hint of sarcasm, fear and loathing. You have lost all control. You cannot do anything and are stuck in a negative cycle that overtakes you – wave after wave that crashes into your once solid foundation and now has whittled it away to nary more than a beach of eroding sand – a mere shadow of what you used to be.

This leads to depression and depression is the strange bedfellow of self-doubt. It can create anxiety attacks and place a drab colour over the world you once saw as bright and full of promise. You shy away from your friends and even your family because you have irrational hate or fear – the very emotions that will cause you to be alone. And alone, you wallow in your self pity, you chew upon your suffering until your stomach is full of it and you can take no more. Depression drives you to a mania. You quit your job and you linger in the fringes of the world, seemingly looking in from a place that is exclusively and tormentingly yours. And you spy the rope, the blade and the pill as solace – the final solution.

This is a dark picture and a possible but far destination for us who are sometimes visited by that monster called self doubt. It may just whisper to us now but soon the voice will get louder and louder and we might have no choice but to listen to it.

Don’t let it come to that stage. We need to reprogram our mind and remove the monster from the recesses of our subconscious because ladies and gentlemen – this is where it lives. It has been nursed by the negative experiences and the bad influences of the world, advertising and examples we see and hear everyday. It is led by the failures in our lives – failures we allow to take over and breathe more life into this monster. The solution is out there – technology or even traditional methods that allow you to reach in and remove this monster and take back your life. Psychological and subliminal – it’s time for an alternative solution.

There are four phases that occur during a whiplash injury and all four take place in less than one half of a second. The injury itself is determined by the different forces that act upon the body at this time. The movements that the body undergoes are both sudden and forceful and can cause damage to the vertebrae, nerves, discs, muscles and ligaments of both the neck and spine.

The first phase takes place as the car continues on its trajectory, whilst the body strains against the seatbelt. This results in the middle area of the back to be forced against the backrest of the car seat and causes an upward force in the passenger that compresses the discs and joints of the cervical spine. Because the car itself is still moving, it pushes the torso forward and moves the head backwards at the same time that creates a shearing force in the neck. The majority of the damage caused in this phase is caused before the head makes contact with the headrest.

The second phase takes place as the body reaches its maximum acceleration which can be as much as 2 times the speed of the vehicle itself. At this point, however, the head continues on its backwards journey. Combined with the elasticity of the seat’s back, an “s” shaped curve forms in the spine which increases the acceleration of the torso; the body is still moving forward while the head is still moving back and another shearing force is created in the neck. It is during this phase that most of the injuries to bones, joints, nerves and discs take place.

The body begins its journey back and into the seat during the third phase, whilst the head and neck move forward at peak acceleration. If the brakes have been applied during this phase, the resulting deceleration increases the exaggerated movement of the neck and the shearing forces that are involved. This causes the body to move forward again and, at this point, any slack in the car’s seatbelts will be taken up.

The fourth phase of the whiplash motion is usually the most damaging. Because the seatbelt is now restraining the torso, the head moves forward without obstruction, causing a violent bend in the neck. This strains muscles and ligaments, tears fibres in the spinal discs and the vertebrae are forced out of their natural positions. The spine itself becomes elongated and the motion of the head can cause the brain to impact upon the inside of the skull.

The resulting symptoms of the four phases of the whiplash injury can include neck pain, back pain, dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, fatigue and mood-swings. This can be inconvenient at best and at worst severely debilitating, if not treated correctly.

A whiplash injury and the associated disorders that may manifest as a result can cause loss of earnings as well as impact upon a sufferer’s social well-being. Personal injury law firms now regard whiplash compensation claims as a specialist area of personal injury law.
