Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Shafer, MN.

Anxiety has a tremendous impact on the people that struggle with it, as well as the people around them. It saps the energy from their life. Anxiety is fear. Anxiety focuses on the future. In therapy, we try to identify what the fear is and how best to work through it. There are a number of different treatment approaches including talk therapy, exposure therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Somatic Experiencing (SE).

At one time, stress and anxiety was an important survival mechanism. Over time we begin to live with more and more stress in our lives which has impacted our physical and mental wellbeing. We live in a time where it seems there is continually increasing political, societal, and environmental turmoil which has led to a sense of worry and anxiety about the world for many of us. Addressing stress and anxiety with a therapist can help bring our bodies back to a place of balance and allow us to better manage and cope with the stress and chaos in the world around us.

Everybody's got anxiety right now the world's on fire and we're all exploring how to cope with a very contentious time. Therapeutically anxiety can show up a lot of different ways and I'm not here to tell you that you're wrong for feeling anxious. What we can do together is learn how to cope as well as explore our thoughts or anxieties or fears in our stresses.

Anxiety and reaction to stress are the most common issues of the clients that we work with. Anxiety is often a habit of rehearsing bad events that will most likely not happen. The problem is that as we are "rehearsing" these possible events, our body is actually experiencing the event as if it is actually happening. This causes all sorts of physical and emotional responses, none of which are good for us or enjoyable. Our approach is to identify the habits that you have developed that cause you to feel anxious and find remedies for these habits. We offer online counseling, delivered to you wherever you are.
