Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Purdy, MO.

One of the most common challenges in our modern world is managing anxiety and stress, and it takes its toll on many of us. And who taught any of us how to handle the fast pace of our internet-connected world? For many of us, we started out reading books, talking on the telephone, watching just a few TV channels, and even reading newspapers. But in the past 20 years our world has sped up, and it is often stressful and anxiety-provoking having to manage all of the "noise". Therapy can be a place to relax, a place to regain your thoughts, to plan, to reset your goals, and to have someone help you manage the stress and anxiety of daily life.

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.

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.
