CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) is considered best practice to address anxiety disorders in general and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in particular. I customize CBT, including Exposure Response Prevention (EXRP) strategies to each individual by identifying obsessive themes and compulsive rituals, generating a hierarchy with SUDS (subjective units of distress scales), and guiding individuals through a systematic process of working through their hierarchy to reduce or eliminate their obsessions and compulsions. A similar approach can be applied to reduce or eliminate panic episodes, and identify triggers and improve coping strategies for generalized anxiety and stress responses.

Anxiety can be like a feedback loop that repeatedly criticizes you. It can show up as irritability and feeling like you’re on edge all the time. It can present as panic and you feel like you’ll never stop feeling anxious. Maybe you feel anxious about so many different things and you even feel anxious about feeling anxious. With anxiety, my approach is to first listen and create a safe space to express all this energy. We will also examine the thoughts that can increase our anxiety and practice reframing them. We will build a “coping skills toolkit”, as I like to say, to help you navigate when you feel anxious. You don’t need to be “fixed”. It’s okay to struggle. Let’s work on managing it.

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. Contact Kevin@kevinflemingphd.com for the ultimate stress and anxiety solution that will literally change your brain's autonomic nervous system patterns while you sit on your butt. 877-606-6161.
