Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Georgetown, CO.

Living with anxiety and panic attacks can be extremely painful and effect every area in a persons life. Every day can be a private battle living with anxiety. Since humans feel anxiety, we can't get rid of ever feeling anxiety again. We can, however, change the experience we have with anxiety to have a different outcome. Counseling for anxiety and panic attacks explores how anxiety shows up in your life, the roots, and discovering strategies for learning how to live a meaningful life.

Lao Tzu said, "If you're anxious, it's because you're living in the future. If you're at peace, it's because you're living in the present." Often anxiety looks like leaving the present moment and projecting into the future, trying to think 10 steps ahead about things that haven't happened yet. This future thinking leads to stress in the present. I teach clients how to tune into their emotions (including anxiety), their bodies (as an anchor to the present moment) and move through anxiety as it arises using their breath. Anxiety and stress don't have to run your life. I'm here to support you in regulating your anxiety and stress by staying with yourself in the present moment.

The number of people who are suffering from anxiety and stress has skyrocketed in recent years. We live a world where our expectations of ourselves are extremely high, we are exposed to bad news constantly via the media, and we have very little downtime to relieve the built-up stress. Happily, there are skills you can learn to cope with this onslaught. Call today to find out if counseling will help you: 970) 277-2770.

Know that you can have control over your anxiety and stress. When you feel anxiety coming on, move your body, let it go, think about your strengths and the amazing things you've done and the unlimited possibilities that are open to you. Know that you are in control of what you focus on. Do you want to think positive, or negative? Breath, relax, let go! Every day, think about the new opportunities you could be inviting into your life. When things are challenging, smile, you've got this....try something new, and if it doesn't work, be thankful and try something new again. Look for the good bright spots in your journey!

Anxiety is about the future! "What if I.....?" "And what if she.....?" Think of it as stage fright. "They wont like me." et cetera. You torture yourself with low level probabilities about furute negative consequences to your actions. It can be immobilizing and very self-limiting. I can teach you to devleop the skills of mindfullness in daily life. When you live more fully in this moment, you are less caught up in the possible failures of the next moment. This may sound easy but it is not. It requires weeks of concerted practice to break free of the habit of thinking about what might happen next. But when you do, you open yourself up to a more peaceful existence.

Anxiety and stress are a part of everday life and effect all of us. The key is how you deal with your anxiety and stress. Many times the things we are most anxious about are things that we either have no control over or things that have gotten really big in our minds. Stress also has a variety of causes, both real and imagined. No matter what the issue is, I can help you put it into perspective by pointing out that which you have no control over, pulling the issue apart so you can understand what is your responsibility and using deep breathing methods to help calm you down. Reducing your level of stress and anxiety will make you happier and healthier.

Anxiety and Stess: I work with my clients to help them manage, reduce, and eliminate their stress and anxiety. EFT Tapping is one of the primary techniques that I use with my clients to help them with their stress and anxiety. I help them to find out what is underneath the stress and anxiety, often it is a hidden fear or limiting belief system. Tapping is one of the absolute best mind body clearing techniques for stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. It works incredibly well to rewire the subconscious mind and calm the body's nervous system. My clients have experienced profound results with EFT Tapping. The benefits include feeling more relaxed, present, happier, calmer, and more joyful.

There are few things worse than anxiety and stress. This may present itself as a base level constant companion that is tolerable but painful, or it may present itself as an almost debilitating feeling of impending doom. However stress or anxiety presents itself in your life, it sucks. Anxiety has been described as "future fear," which makes it particularly asinine, because it can seem impossible to pinpoint. Talking through your stresses, anxieties and fear with a psychotherapist can be very helpful. There are also a number of tools and techniques that are extremely effective.

Anxiety and stress, like many issues, exist on a spectrum. Yet if you are here, looking for help, your anxiety and stress no longer feel sustainable for you to deal with on your own. Maybe your anxiety and stress manifest as snapping at your child or partner. Maybe you're experiencing physical symptoms, such as a higher heart rate, pressure in your chest, or excessive fatigue. Whatever your symptoms are, I can help give you tools to decrease them and then we can get to work on why you are experiencing anxiety/stress to begin with!

If you suffer from panic attacks, unrelenting worries or an incapacitating phobia you may have an anxiety disorder. But you don't have to live with anxiety and fear. I provide certain types of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy which will control your anxiety levels, and conquer your fears. When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is the most effective option. That's because anxiety therapy--unlike anxiety medication--treats more than just the symptoms of the problem. You can uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears; develop coping and problem solving skills; and look at situations in new less frightening ways.

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

In addition to addressing the underlying factors related to anxiety and stress, we can explore what methods of relaxation and coping are best for you. These can include: exercise, time in nature, mindfulness practices, journaling, social time, setting boundaries, creative practices, and listening to music. Alongside what you may find helpful to reduce anxiety, we will explore the root of anxiety. This may be unexpressed emotion, fear of uncertainty, challenges with change, history of trauma, relationship difficulty, and overwhelm. It is important to bring kindness and compassion to the source of anxiety and through acceptance, there is room to begin to make deeper change.

Anxiety and stress are uncomfortable. Sometimes (not always), these symptoms can be part of a larger system at play. By taking a deeper look, we can explore the source of these experiences and not only understand them, but live in congruence with them. The more willing you are to explore the past and understand how this impacts the present, the easier it may be to manage what is happening for you.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.
