Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Harrison Hot Springs, BC.

There are diverse ways of treating anxiety disorders, however, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That is because unlike the medical model, anxiety therapy treats more than just the symptoms of the problem. I work with you to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears; learn how to relax; look at situations in new, less frightening ways; and develop better coping and problem-solving skills. 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

Feelings of anxiety can become so intense that it becomes overwhelming. Often individuals struggling with anxiety express constant intruding thoughts that focus on fears of events of the future. Anxiety can create physical feelings of distress like a tight chest that makes it difficult to breath, an upset or tight feeling in the stomach, and general fatigue from constantly trying to control their thoughts and actions. Some people have battled anxiety for so long that they begin to believe it is just who they are and accept the restrictions it causes in their life. Through counselling we will work to break the cycle of anxiety controlling your inner world. Bringing a sense of relief, control and freedom that has been absent for so long.

Anxiety can be so uncomfortable, so terrifying, that we would, often, rather withdraw from pursuing the people or things we love, so as to avoid its terrible grip. Counselling gives people the tools to be able to manage anxiety when it shows up. These tools give people the confidence that they need to take risks - start dating, return to work, go out with friends, whatever it may be - without the fear that anxiety will take over. When you have the tools and courage to walk through anxiety, life begins to get larger, not smaller. Reach out for a free 15 minute consultation!

I would help clients to learn about and practice mindfulness as it is instrumental in helping to arrest and manage anxiety and stress. I absolutely believe that talk therapy combined with mindfulness can be very therapeutic in managing anxiety and stress. I would also introduce cognitive behavioral therapy to help assist with change in experience and behavior. Raising one's consciousness can be empowering and life changing because it helps to assist in learning about self-care and how to do things differently by learning to mange the anxiety and stress in a new way. With the help of a variety of tools one can learn to manage their anxiety and stress in a way that is therapeutic and healing.

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.

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.

While our bodies are perfectly designed to adapt and react to stress, modern problems mean that we tend to detect life threatening dangers in very ordinary places. Conflicts at work, arguments in our relationships and uncertainties such as the post-Covid world activate old survival mechanisms. We may be stuck in the buzzing, fear states of ‘fight-flight’ or the numb and paralyzed states of ‘freeze and shut down.’ The good news is that I have a long history of safely and successfully helping individuals and couples to reduce and release stress using a variety of CBT and mindfulness techniques, as well as trauma-informed therapy. You have my commitment to compassionate and educated care.

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.
