Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Bayonet Point, FL.

Anxiety and stress therapy with me is indeed a unique experience. Several assessment tools are used including an accountability chart which guides healthy life balance. Other effective forms of treatment include anxiety management, cognitive therapy and exposure therapy. With anxiety management I teach patients skills that will help them cope. Skills taught include relaxation training, breathing retraining, positive thinking, assertiveness training and thought stopping. Cognitive therapy helps clients change irrational beliefs that interfere with psychological functioning and create emotional disturbances. With Exposure therapy I encourage clients to confront stress/anxiety symptom triggers.

Stress is a normal part of everyone's lives, however, when left unmanaged it can become overwhelming. We help our clients to manage stress and reduce anxious symptoms by holding safe therapeutic space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Anxiety can be caused by many different factors and can be temporary or chronic. Processing traumatic experiences and gaining perspective into what is contributing to your symptoms can shed light on how to lessen the severity and have more good days than bad. We will utilize therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in making progress.

Constant worrying and feeling stressed out does not have to be your normal! Anxiety tells us that we need to avoid, avoid, avoid. We think if we avoid the things we fear, then the anxiety will go away but that's actually how we inadvertently make our anxiety worse. Through CBT and ERP, you will learn the tools to face your anxiety and increase your tolerance for the feelings that come along with it. By facing your anxiety, you can make choices that lead to doing the things you love most. In therapy, you'll also learn coping skills and be able to express your worries in a supportive space.

I work often with anxiety and its root causes. There is a body, mind, spirit connection within you. I employ knowledge from neuroscience, psychology and spirituality in a way that will help you learn about the roots of your anxiety. I help with guided imagery, panic response resilience and other tools to help you regulate your responses. You have response-ABILITY and you can be taught to become a conduit to your anxiety instead of a receptacle. I work often with PTSD, Acute Stress disorder and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional . I also work with veterans, active duty military and their families to aid in trauma resilience strategies. I am also the author of a trauma ECourse.

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.

We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more. I work with anxiety and stress by helping individuals learn and develop tools to re-regulate their nervous system. When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.

When our mind becomes a master of us instead of us mastering our mind we loose control and attempt to grasp for it anywhere we can.
