Anxiety comes in many different forms.
Do you recognize yourself in any of these?
Chronic Worrying: You always worry about your family, health, finances, or career. You name it - you worry about it.
Fears & Phobias: You’re terrified of needles, dogs, heights, elevators, flying, or bridges.
Agoraphobia: You’re afraid of places or situations that might cause panic or embarrassment. You fear open spaces, shopping centers, crowds, or simply being outside of your home.
Social Anxiety: You get nervous and self-conscious at social gatherings. You tell yourself that other people are much more exciting and fun to talk to than you are and that they must think that something is wrong with you.
Panic Attacks: You experience sudden, unexpected panic attacks. These attacks leave you feeling dizzy and terrified, and you experience these attacks as a near death experience. Because they come and go mysteriously, you are left worrying about when the next panic attack is coming.
Regardless of the type of anxiety you may have, therapy will address your negative thinking and avoidance to help you manage anxiety.
Important Tip:
I know anxiety doesn’t feel good but it’s not a monster out to get you.
Anxiety is a natural human emotion that serves a very important purpose: to warn us when we perceive danger and helps us respond to that threat in order to keep us safe.
If you were about to be attacked by bear, anxiety would kick in to tell you to run away as fast as you can. In this case, anxiety could very much be what actually keeps you safe!
Anxiety becomes problematic when we perceive danger in situations that are not actually threatening.
HOW EXACTLY Does Therapy HELP PEOPLE AFFECTED BY anxiety?
I provide specialized techniques such as EMDR, an effective treatment that can help people struggling with emotional distress related to negative life experiences by using bilateral stimulation.
I also use IFS therapy to help you understand how and why anxiety is showing up trying to protect you when it doesn’t really need to, while getting to the root cause of it and healing it.
