Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Neebing, ON.

I work with men who are overwhelmed and stressed. They feel successful in the work they do, but they're finding that they don't have the capacity to manage life outside of work anymore. They feel like the demands of their relationship with a spouse or children is too much. Now, let's admit, they've never been good at talking about stuff. Talking about what's going on inside their head and expressing how they feel just isn't their strong suit. But they're not coping well. They avoid the stress by finding their own little place to unwind and keep a distance from everyone so they can get some peace for a minute (or hours). Let's try something different. I'm hear to listen.

Anxiety prevents you from being present and puts you in a position where you are either ruminating about the past or worrying about the future. In the moment, it can feel impossible to get out of it, and one cannot simply snap out of it. Similarly, stress can permeate multiple aspects of your life. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as mindfulness exercises to help you manage your anxiety. Eventually, we would also work together to understand why the anxiety shows up and how we can address the original source. Reach out today to book a free consultation.

Dealing with anxiety is difficult as it is the body's natural response to a perceived threat and that response, is unique to each individual and can often present itself as a sense of discomfort, emotional reactions, physical sensations, and unhelpful behavioural patterns. Your anxiety can be triggered through situational or environmental events and can often feel chronic. Schedule a free consultation to me to see if I am the right fit to help you manage your anxiety.

Stress and anxiety is a part of everyone's day to day lives. However, when it becomes difficult to function due to loss of sleep, change in appetite, panic attacks, upset stomach, aches & pains, etc. therapy can be most beneficial. I use various relaxation techniques, deep breathing, mindfulness meditation, as well as talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques (addressing self defeating automatic thinking patterns which effect our mood and behavior). I can teach you how to manage unpleasant symptoms related to stress and anxiety.

Some level of stress and anxiety is likely to be a part of everyone's life at some time, and it helps to have someone to talk to.

Learn to work with the energetic messenger anxiety is while establishing concrete strategies for managing chronic and acute anxiety attacks through use of breath, and grounding.

Numerous approaches can be take to explore stresses including your beliefs about productivity, where your value comes from, and setting boundaries with self and others.

Anxiety and stress, sometimes they're manageable... sometimes they aren't. If you are having difficulty managing the anxiety and stress, I strive to work with people to navigate and explore their stressors to understand them and gain insight and perspective into those stress patterns so we can collaboratively devise empowering ways to manage them.
