Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Battleford, SK.

Learning to breathe and paying attention to breathing is key to deal with anxiety. People are usually unaware of their breath and if a person holds their breathe frequently this often creates anxiety. Learning to properly breathe is one tool used to help reduce anxiety. Dealing with a history of abuse and trauma is also essential to combat anxiety.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they dont treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people dont 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.

While our bodies are perfectly designed to adapt and react to stress, modern problems mean that we tend to detect life threatening dangers in very ordinary places. Conflicts at work, arguments in our relationships and uncertainties such as the post-Covid world activate old survival mechanisms. We may be stuck in the buzzing, fear states of ‘fight-flight’ or the numb and paralyzed states of ‘freeze and shut down.’ The good news is that I have a long history of safely and successfully helping individuals and couples to reduce and release stress using a variety of CBT and mindfulness techniques, as well as trauma-informed therapy. You have my commitment to compassionate and educated care.

Many therapeutic approaches focus on techniques to manage anxiety or panic in order to reduce their impact on daily life, goals, and relationships. While these tools can be helpful, I also believe that anxiety symptoms often carry important psychological meaning. They may signal something about ourselves that we have difficulty recognizing or expressing. In counselling, we explore these experiences with curiosity and reflection so that anxiety becomes a source of insight rather than only something to suppress. Stress, likewise, is not only a physiological reaction. It is also shaped by our desires, expectations, and social models of success.
