Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Glenbrook, ON.

Many conditions contribute to the physical and psychological symptoms of anxiety. You might feel anxious because of an underlying disorder that you did not previously know about, or you may feel anxious because of a phobia or state of mind. Because the condition is complex with ambiguous causes, the task of diagnosing anxiety is oftentimes a challenge. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a condition that describes a situation when a person experiences stress for no particular reason. GAD clients worry excessively, uncontrollably, and irrationally about normal situations. In general, GAD clients have trouble functioning because they are always fearful about money, death, family, relationships....

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.

Mindfulness-based therapy is the primary approach I use with clients to provide tools and skills for managing and reducing stress and anxiety. For stress and anxiety issues, it is important to realize that most stress and anxiety is caused by mental habits and specific thoughts, and addressing those thoughts - and changing them - is a very effective way of learning to manage your anxiety.

Often we are bombarded by stressful life circumstances that can steal our peace. Many of us have come through very painful and challenging experiences that have shaken our ability to create safety. All of which leave us vulnerable to anxiety and we can easily find ourselves in a constant state of panic. In my approach, I support you to make sense of these feelings and get them to work for you rather than against you. As we make sense of our fears and learn ways to create internal safety, we can create a peace that comes from the inside out. Like the quote says " I am not afraid of the storms, for I know how to sail my ship." Our work is to strengthen your ability to sail the storms.
