Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Onoway, AB.

Anxiety can feel debilitating when feelings of fear, worry, or nervousness develop into a day to day excessive, irrational dread and impacts a person’s daily functioning. As a registered psychologist I draw on various approaches to help individuals develop the skills to feel more in control of anxiety and stress. I assist individuals in understanding how anxiety or panic attacks develop and how to manage better by assessing needs, limits, and triggers for anxiety and stress. www.stalbertcounselling.com

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.

[NOTE: MY OFFICE IS IN CALGARY -- I DO VIDEO SESSIONS ELSEWHERE IN ALBERTA]. Anxiety and stress are two conditions that have treatments that work. Cognitive behaviour therapy, desensitization therapy, and hypnotherapy (all of which I practice) are often tremendously helpful. I have been a psychologist for 31 years, and I can help.

Many therapists teach clients techniques to manage anxiety and panic in order to limit their impact on life, goals, relationships. I think these symptoms have a deep meaning, and they want to tell us something about ourselves. Maybe something we fail to see or feel, something important about who we are. That's why I work with my clients to understand these symptoms until we can look them in the face and get some critical insight from them. Stress is not only a physiological reaction. It usually comes from our desires and models of success. Stress has a SOCIAL dimension that cannot be neglected, as it is an essential part of how we conceive of joy, pain, failure and enjoyment.
