Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Tofield, AB.

Experiencing stress seems inevitable. However, when stress is overwhelming, we can develop anxiety, which can hinder us from participating in life in a full way. Our lives might get smaller, less satisfying, and we might feel that we are no longer in control. Anxiety often makes its presence known by uncomfortable physical symptoms in our bodies. Together, we will learn about these physical symptoms. We will explore how anxiety might have started and what triggers it. We will also develop strategies that shift your nervous system from anxiety, to a state of calm and connection with self, others, and the world.

I offer an integrative blend of somatic awareness, mindfulness practices, relational attunement, and trauma-informed presencing to help my clients address anxiety and stress in their lives. Using your natural healing process as our guide, we can help the nervous system learn what a peaceful state of health and vitality is again. I am currently offering sessions online and in person.

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. As such, elements from many different approaches to therapy may be incorporated to help the client successfully achieve their counselling goals. For example, one therapeutic approach may include elements from CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) coupled with emotion-focused work to yield a successful outcome.

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 often has people identifying strongly with it. If you have a problem with anxiety, you are certainly not alone! Everyone affected by Anxiety has a unique relationship with it.

Most people do not like feeling anxious or stressed. People are not saying I am glad to be stressed or anxious. What do we do when this happens.

Along with processing stress and anxiety comes a deeper longing to to be heard and validated and to sometimes be given new skills or strategies.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.

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.
