Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Beiseker, AB.

We live in a stressful, fast paced society in which many people wear their stress like a badge of honour. We are taught that being busy is a virtue. The problem arises when our bodies can no longer handle this continual, long-term stress. As humans we are built for occasional stress, as in, "incase of emergency break glass". We are not designed for long-term, unrelenting stress. All of this can lead to adrenal fatigue and burn-out. It can even become a medical issue if we let it go on for too long. If you notice yourself feeling tired all of the time, this is a sign to reach out for help. Message me today to book your appointment, I am here to help.

Having served as a chaplain in an active war zone, Dr Mervin (Paraklesis Counselling) has first-hand insight into PTSD and anxiety disorders. As a psychopharmacologist he is uniquely equipped to assist you in knowing when medication is required, and when the stress can be managed without medication. Some anxiety disorders (like OCD) needs to be pharmacologically treated first before therapy will be helpful; others (like general anxiety and/or phobias) can often be effectively treated with therapy, avoiding the side-effects of the medication. Your anxiety disorders can be effectively treated!

Coping with stress and management of anxious thoughts and feelings is a challenge for many clients. We examine the ways that stress can affect the physical body and seek direct ways to mitigate these problems, such as breathing retraining and thought distancing. Often, we focus on building a hierarchy of fears and gradual exposure to these fears. We also work on management of physical reactions, such as panic.

Anxiety and stress seem so common today, that they may seem to be unavoidable. I can tell you that you will be able to change the way you feel. At it's heart, anxiety is a warning system that something is wrong, but if it dominates your life, often you can't tell the difference between a minor blip and a major catastrophe. It's all overwhelming. Stress to some extent motivates you, but over a certain threshold can paralyze you. I have worked for many years with anxiety and stress, and will help you to negotiate through the challenges of bringing them back within your control. You can develop the understanding and skills to thrive in a challenging world.

Anxiety is a normal, human response to stressful events that we each experience at times ... like delivering a speech (or presentation at work or narrowly avoiding a car accident. It becomes a problem when we feel anxious a LOT, or our response is out of all proportion to the situation, or we avoid the provoking situation/thing, and it interferes with our day-to-day lives. Anxiety is treatable. I can help you reduce your stress response, manage your physiological responses (like breathing), change your thinking about the feared event, and build your repertoire of self-care and relaxation-enhancing activities -- all of which will reduce your anxiety and enhance your quality of life.

Unfortunately with our incredibly fast paced society, anxiety and stress have become all-too-familiar struggles for all ages. People feel pressure from the many commitments in their lives, and with the beauty and curse of technology, we often feel we cannot get a break. It has become imperative that we learn ways of managing our anxiety and stress, and of slowing down our systems so that they do not get to a point of explosion. Many people enter into therapy at such a point, and we work hard to create a space where they can breathe and learn strategies for coping, as well as re-narrating old patterns.

We take a tailored approach to helping clients manage their anxiety & stress, wholly dependent on individuals’ needs. This is extremely important as what works for one person may not work for another.

For example, one therapeutic approach may include elements from CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) coupled with emotion-focused work to yield a successful outcome.

I work to support those struggling to uncover, understand and address the roots of their anxiety. I also help them to learn a variety of stress-management, relaxation techniques and self-care techniques so they are better equipped to manage life's inevitable challenges in the future.

Anxiety sometimes feels like a normal piece of life, but often it actually is beyond what would be considered healthy.

If you feel that this describes your difficulties, we can help.
