Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Saskatoon, SK.

Anxiety is a major issue that needs to be addressed and properly maintained to achieve balance in life. Interesting to learn is that there is such a thing as positive anxiety: "eustress". Eustress is the perfect amount of anxiety to keep one attentive, alert, and performing well. "Distress" on the other hand, will create a shut-down or dysfunction in behaviour. Critical to understand is that negative messages we send ourselves ('Cognitive Distortions') significantly contribute to distress. Anxiety is real and it can be overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be.

Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations. In our sessions, you’ll learn about acceptance and how to exert your power of choice over whatever life may throw at you. I utilize an integrated approach that combines neuroscience, cognitive, behavioural, somatic and mindfulness interventions to help you overcome overwhelm and cope with all life's surprises.

I use a combination of tools and therapeutic methods as a way of managing anxiety and stress. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to reshape thinking patterns that exacerbate stress and anxiety. I also use meditation (if you are open to that), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT). There are very specific processes and tools that can really make a difference in managing anxiety. I use these regularly in sessions.

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.

Bev gently works with clients to help them tame their anxiety. Bev uses techniques to help clients get to the root of the anxiety and to work to resolve the issue. Bev works with clients to help them recognize first degree emotions and how to process those emotions so they begin to have mastery over them, and in the process, become more assertive about their needs. Bev teaches clients to recognize their own stress and stressors. Bev helps clients have inner permission to de-stress and helps client explore ways to de-stress and methods of de-stressing. Bev also helps clients appreciate stress as in eustress or optimal stress, as well as to recognize the lack of challenge or over-stress.

My approach to anxiety and stress counseling is compassionate, supportive, and tailored to each client’s unique experiences and goals. Anxiety and chronic stress can affect emotional well-being, relationships, sleep, confidence, and overall quality of life, often leaving individuals feeling overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted. In therapy, I provide a calm and non-judgmental space where clients can safely explore their thoughts, emotions, and stressors while learning practical coping strategies to regain balance and control. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, somatic, mindfulness, and trauma-informed therapy, I help clients build emotional resilience, reduce anxious patterns, improve self-awareness, and develop healthier ways to manage stress, emotions, and daily challenges.

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 within our interpersonal relationships. We may be stuck in the buzzing state 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.

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.

Stress is a fact of life. Work, school, finances, relationships, raising children, concerns about the future, and countless other issues can be overwhelming. We simply cannot handle long-term, chronic stress without health consequences. Anxiety goes hand-in-glove with stress. Stress can lead to feelings of anxiety, and anxiety often heightens stress levels. This feedback loop can feel crazy-making, overwhelming, and get in the way of everything. In my practice, I help people to better understand stress and anxiety, and learn ways to deepen their ability to cope, and move toward enjoying increased peace of mind and sense of stability.
