Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Ken Caryl, CO.

Tired of being stressed out? YES! Anxiety is primarily a byproduct of a very natural process the mind goes through after being caught off guard. The mind defaults to patterned thinking designed to protect you from further harm, pain, disappointment, rejection, etc., but the protective process can raise anxiety to an unhealthy level. How do you know when your stress is to high? How do you know when your anxiety is above the norm? Dr. Bruce Rumsey has been able to help many clients suffering from stress, regulate their emotions, including their anxiety, to a level that allowed them to resume their normal lives, decision-making, and sense of well-being throughout the Denver area.

Anxiety and stress are a natural part of life, but when they become the main focus we have to learn to shift our energy to find balance. When we learn to interweave the good with the stress we learn to refill our cup. You walk through and find the areas in your life that need some balance. We build skills, learn tools, and practice ways that we can be the best version of yourself and relieve some of the pressures that this life places on you.

How much is your anxiety costing you? Individuals who suffer from anxiety and chronic stress are less productive at work and are more likely to call in sick. They are 3-5 times more likely to go to the doctor as anxiety often feels like physical illness. Their relationships with family and friends suffer or are sometimes cut off completely. Counseling is the single most effective treatment for anxiety and stress, and the benefits begin immediately. Call today to get started: (970) 227-2770.

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.

However working on the core issues is valuable or these tools will end up being like a bandaid just covering up the real problem. Together we can work on the core issues driving your anxiety and stress in order to experience lasting relief.
