Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Southwold, ON.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
