Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Coal Grove, OH.

Anxiety and stress are common and thus normal reactions to the personal and social demands of everyday life. In them, sufficient motive is found for meeting the need, whatever it may be. Except when the exact need cannot either be identified and/or met and then prolonged exposure most naturally leads to emotional and physical illness. Counseling helps one to overcome this risk by localizing not only the implicit need, but also implementation of a most adaptive solution.

We will work together to remove stressors from ones life when possible, and examine and edit the assumptions that contribute to our anxiety. We will build and practice stress-reduction tools such as mindfulness, progressive relaxation, and breathing techniques. We can also utilize techniques such as writing, use of music and drama to support anxiety reduction.

It is been said that if one does not experience some anxiety and stress in these difficult times, one must not be alive. Too often, anxiety, stress and worry immobilize a person. Dr. Frederick works with the person to change their thoughts and anxieties about the troublesome situations to concern about the problems. This then mobilizes the person to deal with the problems. Often, anxiety stems from ineffective attitudes toward the problem. Anxiety can arise from black-and-white thinking, in accurate guessing about what’s going on with others, focusing on one negative occurrence ignoring 100 positive ones, etc.

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.
