Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Otselic, NY.

Developing coping strategies is an important and vital skill for anxiety and stress. These coping strategies have implications for all areas of life from employment to hurtful relationships to difficult family members. You don't have to suffer. There is help. Life is hard. We do our best and are often quite successful. However, there are other times that we have done all that we know to do and we are still stuck. While struggling is an important part of personal and relationship growth, it doesn't make sense to do the same thing over and over again. Therapy is many things. One of the most healing aspects of therapy is the objectivity and relationship expertise the therapist brings.

Anxiety and stress will visit all of us at various times in our lives. When they stay, they interrupt our ability to enjoy life, function, and connect to those we love. The best approach to anxiety and stress is to combine understanding the triggers with changing our physical response to the stressor. When we meet, we will quickly identify ways for you to reduce the anxiety/stress symptoms to help you feel better. Next will be our identifying what situations are causing your feelings, and we will then figure out together how to change those situations to help you feel better and get on with enjoying your life.

My method of working with clients on anxiety , stress and coping varies per individual. How we cope is greatly influenced by how we see the world. Mindset, life experiences, and our current situation can impact that. Overall, integrating Strength- Based, Mindfulness, NLP even DBT approaches enhances our ability to accept, and view our life with a fresh perspective. As we begin to see things through a different lens, this new perspective becomes a powerful tool in developing our mind as a muscle; an essential part of moving toward the life changes you seek. This opens the door to management of unwanted symptoms, anxiety, stress, feelings of overwhelm or low motivation and a path forward.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help my clients get a sense of control over their own anxiety. We collaborate to learn skills to reduce the frequency or intensity of the anxious feelings, to tolerate the anxiety when it does occur so they can still function through it, and to practice habits that reduce stress and improve general mental health.

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.
