Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Walnut Grove, 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.

Do you think you might struggle with anxiety? Anxiety can take the form of panic attacks, but many people also live with a chronic anxiety where they feel constantly restless, uneasy, and tense. It can be both subtle and overwhelming, and it is horrible to live with. Many treatments for anxiety focus on management of thoughts, behaviors, and reactions. While I do teach basic management skills, I like to take it beyond that to deal with the actual root of the anxiety. My goal is not to have you leave therapy knowing how to deal with your anxiety more effectively. My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling less anxious!

Stress can come from many different sources, such as work pressures, family or relationship worries, physical ailments or illnesses, or events of an unexpected nature. I provide a comfortable, encouraging, and supportive environment in which you can discuss your symptoms and situation, unburden yourself, and learn coping strategies that will help you make sense of the chaos and feel better.

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.
