Anxiety. It is that feeling of impending dread. The tightness in your chest that makes it hard to breath. The wave of nausea that sweeps over you. The rapid heartbeat, the sweaty palms, the trembling. Nothing about anxiety is comforting. This is why we avoid it. But what if I told you that, to a certain extent, anxiety is normal and even beneficial. Feeling anxious means that you care about something and when you care about something, you try your best to succeed. When working with anxiety, the goal is not to eliminate it but rather to control it to your benefit. This is accomplished through recognizing your patterns and altering those that work against you.

When workng with people experiencing stress or anxiety, there are several tools I use: a) Sress Map, which assesses 6 main categories of stress - Work Changes, Personal Changes Work Pressures, Personal Pressures, Work Satisfactions, Personal Satisfactions, & Coping Responses, It also assesses 6 main competencies in handling stress, thinking & feeling patterns that hinder ability to handle stress, & physical, behavioral & emotional symptoms. b) Observed & Experiential Integration is exceptionally helpful in reducing anxiety symptoms. People often feel very relaxed afterwards! It also result in greater mental clarity for decision making.

It is important to identify when the challenges we are facing are beyond the normal threshold of storm and stress. After we did that, in order to preserve our mental and physical health, it is important to make a decision to reach out and find a caring professional support. A person who will give as a safe environment, and work with us on overcoming the challenges we face.

Anxiety and Stress are the norm in today's world. Our fast-paced society pulls our attention in many directions and often away from ourselves. Being disconnected from our feelings, needs and wants is often a cause of anxiety. Mindfulness-based counselling is a powerful way to have us create an island of sanity for ourselves amidst the speed of our lives. By learning to reconnect with ourselves amidst the busyness of life, we are put back into relationship with our hearts and what is truly meaningful to us.
