Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Wembley, AB.

Anxiety and stress affects us all, to varying degrees. What we get stressed about, the way it manifests and how we get through it is unique to us. If your anxiety or stress is beginning to interfere with your life, I can help you regain balance. We start by exploring the effects it has on your body, mind and spirit; we identify your triggers, explore your resources, and work collaboratively to help you develop more effective coping strategies.

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. We need to process it and for most people counselling is a place for processing. 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. What ever you need whether an ear to listen, heart to understand or ideas for coping with it I can provide it in comfortable environment.

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.

Anxiety and stress can take over our bodies, making it extremely difficult to move and show up throughout the day. Taking a look at how anxiety and stress shows up in the body will provide us with some insight into what is going on with the nervous system. By working together we can start to see what past or current triggers are occurring and how this is impacting the body. By uncovering these triggers and learning key tools this can create less stress and anxiety and more calm and peace.

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.

Anxiety is a natural human response when we perceive we are under threat. It can be experienced through our thoughts, feelings and physical sensations. It can become a mental health problem if it impacts on your ability to live your life as fully as you want. Therapy can help you to uncover the underlying causes of worries and fears. I take a gentle, compassionate approach to teaching clients about anxiety and strategies to help them live fuller, more satisfying lives.

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.
