I believe we all have moments in our lives when we experience stress and anxiety. Every single one of us could benefit from tools taken from mindfulness exercises, and other great therapeutic approaches. Stress sucks, but stress can be a really important reminder that we need to pay attention to something important going on in our lives. Let’s find the tools that work best for you and start implementing them into your life. Let’s breathe a little easier together.

We all experience stress and anxiety from time to time, but sometimes the anxiety response can be exaggerated or over-activated which can interfere with our daily functioning. When anxiety gets to that point, it is no longer adaptive and needs to be addressed. Through a combination of identifying triggers, understanding how your thoughts influence your feelings, behaviours, and physical sensations, and developing effective coping and relaxation strategies, therapy can help you manage your anxiety and stress better and help you regain control of your life.

Anxiety is an emotion that can be felt within the body and often triggers physical symptoms. Worrying about future events or having a reaction to current events or fears can be a common form of anxiety. At the Reflection Centre, our team of professionals, work with you to identify your thoughts, feelings and behaviours that feed anxious thoughts. Our goal is to teach skills and strategies to help you manage anxiety as well as assist you in changing anxiety provoking thoughts.

It is only through understanding that we can promote comprehensive and meaningful change in our lives.

Often when we encounter the pain from trauma we run from the danger, we freeze and get stuck or we go into fight mode to defend ourselves. We do this for good reason. This is how we were wired for protection from threat. At some point along the way we begin to realize that these responses may have helped us in the past when we were in survival mode but they are no longer serving us. We can learn to reflect on our past experiences with compassion and curiosity. Therapy approaches such as Internal Family Systems Therapy and EMDR can help to calm our nervous systems, heal our inner child and integrate our pain and distress in order to move forward as our true selves with more peace and joy.
