Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Willis, TX.

Anxiety and stress are two things that the majority of us would like to get rid of. Life today is full of stress and it is almost impossible to get away from it, especially in the city of Houston. Anxiety in my opinion, is a normal reaction when we are about to do something uncomfortable. As soon as we realize that, we can look for ways to manage that discomfort and that is exactly what we will work on together. Self-care is a huge part of it and until you exhibit good self- care, chances are that you will feel stressed and anxious. We will work on making better decision around self-care.

If you find yourself over-reacting...to relationships, work, school - stress may be emotionally "stretching" what had been a healthy tolerance-set. Life happens, and unfortunately so does intense emotional "push back." Sometimes temperament sets us up for a steeper reaction. For others, early wounding and a history of unsatisfactory family bonding creates unresolved tension. Much of this energy can be processed, clarified and worked through. But more dramatic and destructive pieces of our past can also haunt our functioning. Checking into the "why's" and "wherefore's'" of emotional fallout creates a base of understanding and release which can be powerful - it's a journey worth sharing!
