Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Agassiz, BC.

We all have anxiety and stress! It is a matter of how we manage this challenge in our daily lives. Often the anxiety and stress overwhelm us to the point of feeling hopeless! But there certainly is hope and with some consistent therapy and support one can be feeling significantly better after only a few sessions. Once we dissect the overwhelming feelings we begin to understand the underlying issues at the root cause. While medication is an option, quite often it is not necessary as psychotherapy is effective.

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.

Since anxiety disorders differ considerably, I tailor the therapy to my clients’ specific symptoms and concerns. Someone with anxiety attack will have a different treatment from a person who comes for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Together we can make it happen

Anxiety and stress are normal human reaction to situations. We encounter many pressures and stressors throughout our lives, and sometimes just throughout the day. Embodying tools (such as mindfullness practices) can help reduce physical, emotional and verbal reactions to stress and anxiety, and replace these negative reactions with the power to respond to stressors and anxiety in a meaningful and healthy way that keeps you grounded and focused.
