Anxiety and stress seem to be on the rise lately. In actuality, we all experience varying degrees of anxiety and stress throughout our lives and this is normal. And yet we do not want to feel either because they are uncomfortable. And yet, consider this: if you are walking down a dark alley at 2:00 am and NOT feeling anxious, I'm worried about you. If you are sitting in a famliar and safe environment and feeling anxious, I am also worried about you. Anxiety and stress are important to pay attention to and learn how to use them effectively OR to learn how to minimize them appropriately in your life. I'm happy to help you consider ways to cope with anxiety and stress.

When a person is feeling anxious or stressed, a natural, internal, drive to seek out safety, emotionally and/or physically, is triggered. This is often referred to as the "fight or flight" response. In this state of distress, people tend to react emotionally versus respond thoughtfully; sometimes with good outcomes, but many times with bad. In the horse world, we call this "run first, ask questions later". My goal in working with anxiety and stress is to help people become "first responders", not "first reactors". In slowing down the instinctive drive of "fight or flight" using a variety of self-regulation tools, along with trigger recognition, mindful outcomes can be achieved.

Lake Austin Psychotherapy offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorder as well as EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing) to accelerate symptom relief from anxiety, stress and panic disorder. Somatic Experiencing is also incorporated to promote mind-body connections and autonomic regulation for heightened nervous system response.
