Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Bensalem, PA.

We live in stressful times! The demands can feel overwhelming, the worries constant. Let's work together to help you understand anxiety and not be limited by your fears. Step 1 is to recognize the voice of anxiety: those terrifying what-ifs, the out-dated beliefs about who you are and what you can do, the cruel and unrealistic expectations... We can't get used to the water by standing at the edge of the pool. If you want to go in toe-by-toe, that's fine! I'm a toe-by-toe person, myself! I will nudge, but never push. Together, we'll figure out how you can take steps toward creating a life that is meaningful and satisfying to you, without being held back by anxiety.

Successfully treating anxiety and stress is often illusive. Don't forget - stress and anxiety are not the same thing - kind of like thunder and lightening not being the same thing. It is possible to feel stress without feeling anxious. But, when anxiety flares up, stress is always waiting in the wings. We know that anxiety is a fear-based emotion. Genetics gone awry is to blame. Getting relief from stress is often easier than getting relief from anxiety. Stress can be managed to some extent, but anxiety is innate. We are born with it. Not great news I'm afraid, but there are therapies that can help overly-anxious people find relief. Medication is often the treatment of choice.

Anxiety and stress impact many persons' lives daily. Some people experience stronger levels of anxiety and stress which can meet the criteria for a mental health disorder, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD. Therapy can address this in many different ways. One way is to look at how thoughts and behaviors are linked using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach. Other modalities such as Narrative Therapy or Eco-Systemic Structural Family Therapy may look at how life events and familial patterns impact one's sense of anxiety/stress and the management of these issues. Another approach is mindfulness which helps clients get in touch with their body to work.

Got Stress? Get Creative! My favorite daily practice is to smile when I feel one of those feelings (stressed, upset, overwhelmed, anxious…) I immediately feel better and am able to respond effectively to what is in front of me (like car going too slow when I’m in a hurry or someone being rude/ unthoughtful/difficult). I learned this during my training over the years in performance and improv… learning to creatively respond to what’s coming at me/being offered by the world with acceptance and openness. And, as a therapist I have seen how creatively responding verses automatically reacting out of anger, fear, stress, frustration, etc can help clients as well as me. In the....

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.
