Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in London, ON.

Anxiety and stress are two of the most common feelings with which individuals struggle. When these feelings are frequent and intense, often individuals’ emotions, functioning, performance and behaviour are negatively affected. Through counseling, I can help you discover your sources of stress and anxiety; and how to reduce and respond more appropriately to the causes of these feelings. By applying concepts learned through counseling, you will be able to feel and function better. This will result in more energy and improved performance and productivity (e.g., at home, work or school) and interacting more appropriately with others.

I love working with people who wrestle with anxiety and stress, I love it because of the difference I witness in the lives and experiences of my clients. Employing a blend of mindfulness, somatic experiencing and neuroscience (polyvagal) techniques, the felt experience of anxiety can be managed in an entirely new way for you, and can lead to profound change in your life. I can not make it so that you never feel anxious again, but we can work to help you learn what to do when you experience the familiar sensations of anxiety, so that it doesn't take over your thoughts, body and life.

Dealing with anxiety and stress is a specialty of mine. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and honour the deep places your fear and shame reactions come from. I believe that if you change your thoughts you change your world. The past does not have to rule your mind. We will work together to identify and change the thought patterns that create anxiety for you. I also use EEG Neurofeedback to shift brain wave patterns to support change.

Primarily physical ‘automatic’ experiences apparently by-passing our mental capacity to apprehend what is occurring to us, ranging from intense “panic attack” through steady discomfort, however always with a sense of disconnect: “Why's this happening? I've no reason to be so upset” Such states usually stem from high fear stressors in early life that have become unconscious and generalized (via overactive brain areas): steady vulnerability or prone to acute arousal via particular ‘triggers’. Therapy requires many approaches, esp enhancing body-awareness, graduated exposure/resilience building (vs avoidance actions), selfcare/comforting skills, ‘thought hygiene’, working through past traumas.

I have been trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Anxiety disorder. In the high paced environment we live in today, it is typical to have stress in your life but what if it starts to impact your daily living? How can you function at your best if you don't have coping strategies or are able to recognize your body signals? While in therapy you have the opportunity to talk out the issues while learning the skills to manage day-to-day problems. The benefit to counseling is feeling empowered over this mental health diagnoses and working on a relapse prevention plan to assist you in the future.

If you think events in your life are causing you stress, you are wrong! It is actually your reaction to those events that is causing you distress. You may experience toxic automatic thoughts in in stressful situations, and we can challenge those thoughts. I can also help you with time management, teach you relaxation techniques, and instruct you in the practice of mindfulness.

Anxiety and stress is commonly experienced. For many reasons, some of us have very busy and stress-filled lives. However, the cards you hold in the game of life mean very little. It's the way you play the hand that counts. Learning to manage the demands of our lives is a skill and an art. Therapy can help you to develop strategies to deal with anxiety and stress and find more contentment amidst challenges that come your way.

We live in a time of great change. How can one be calm while dealing with both global stress plus impacts from a personal history? Fear, anxiety and strain are understandable. What can therapy do to help? First, talking to a supportive therapist provides a safe place, a gentle setting to learn new skills for coping with what stresses you. Like learning a new muscle skill, therapy provides a place for developing peace of mind. It’s similar to meditation, yoga, contemplation or other such internal skills. You can then find new attitudes for living so fear, worry and stress can be dialed down, perceived more as teachers. Rather than unending anxieties you can find opportunities for new growth.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.
