Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Des Peres, MO.

Stripped to the core, anxiety is basically fear of the unknown. Anxiety is quite common and most individuals experience anxiety from time to time. However, when anxiety interferes with the quality of your life it can be beneficial to speak with a counselor about your specific set of circumstances. My approach to treating anxiety is highly dependent upon the needs and specifics symptoms of the individual. However, almost always does it include a look at the individual's core beliefs about his or herself, others and the world in general. Investigation into these areas can be helpful in understanding the source of the anxiety which is a determinant in choosing the appropriate treatment.

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.

Stress unfortunately is a daily fact of life for most of us and the body's response is to trigger the fight or flight system. This can lead to experiencing feelings of anxiety. That is why I see anxiety as a symptom, not a "condition". My goal in treating anxiety is to first help you develop the tools needed to manage your anxiety and then to work on discovering the underlying cause for it. Once we have done that, the goal is to resolve that cause and the anxiety feelings it is causing will disappear.
