Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Hemby Bridge, NC.

The experience of anxiety and stress can be caused by multiple factors, such as mind, body, emotions, personality tendencies, relationships, and so on. For that reason, I offer a wide variety of resources to help you change how you are responding to anxiety and stress with very practical coping skills, as well as exploration into relational or other reasons for the anxious response. We feel and store emotion in the body, and anxiety is there to alert us that something needs changed. We all have some measure of anxiety and stress at times, it is just finding out what is causing it for you, and what you need to manage and minimize it.

Do you worry about things that haven't happened? Do you find it hard to let things go that bother you? Do you obsess over minor mishaps? We can work together to help you learn to worry less and enjoy life more. You can learn to accept yourself and others as well as embrace your positive qualities. We can help you face your fears and not let them control you or your thoughts/feelings. After all, life should be more than worrying about what could go wrong.

Anxiety is becoming more and more common in today's stressful world. We live at a fast, never-ending pace with high expectations and frustrating outcomes. It can be so difficult to work through the anxiety you experience while still maintaining all of the other aspects of your life. I use a mindfulness-based therapy method called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) that has been proven through research to help with anxiety and stress. I love helping my clients who struggle with anxiety to find ways to manage those anxious feelings and thoughts and pursue the things that are most meaningful to them.

Often Anxiety and stress are caused by fears; fear of being imperfect, not enough, not accepted, not valued. These fears are often lies that they have been believing for quite a while. I work with clients to identify the lies they are believing, stop that believe and begin to tell themselves the truth about who they are. This empowers them and increase their self-esteem and confidence.

According to all surveys, stress has reached epidemic proportions., be it from work, family obligations or just living. It affects all aspects of our lives, especially our health. 70% of Dr. visits are stress related. It especially affects how we get along with others around us, and not in a positive way. I have developed a holistic approach to stress reduction that will be highlighted in my forthcoming book slated to be released in 2018. My unique approach helps people identify the causes of their stress, how it is impacting all aspects of their life, especially their relationships with loved ones, and a novel way to reduce that stress that is science based.

Anxiety cripples your ability to enjoy life, achieve your goals and fully realize your potential. In our therapy sessions we will help you overcome negative self-talk and beliefs through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, calm your body and mind by applying relaxation techniques, build confidence in your skills and abilities through role play and in-vivo practice. If it's relationship or job stress that is causing your burnout, we will look at your ability to set healthy boundaries with yourself and others, recognize your limitations and work on the skills to relieve stress and prevent it from building back up. Trauma counseling, including EMDR, might be useful in treating PTSD like symptoms.

Anxiety and stress, if not clinically addressed, can make you physically sick. In fact, it can even shorten your life span. Even in the busy and hectic world we all live in, anxiety and stress can be managed at healthy levels. If you suspect that you suffer from an anxiety disorder, such as panic disorder or a phobia, the odds of recovering are very high. Since treating anxiety disorders is a specialty of mine, people who consult with me on these issues have a high rate of success. Don't wait it out any longer.

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.

Anxiety is a natural reaction to danger, a signaling system that protects us. But when anxiety is uncontrolled, it interferes terribly with the quality of life. Anxiety often responds well and quickly to treatment, but active client participation is key. The severity and type of anxiety presented determine the type of interventions used. I combine psychoeducation, psychotherapy, referrals for medication and/or recommendations for natural remedies. I help clients address general, pervasive anxiety, obsessive-compulsive anxiety, hoarding disorder (with collecting and acquiring), panic attacks, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and situational adjustment anxiety. Such problems are appropriate for Telemental health therapy when the problem severity is mild to moderate.
