Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Piney Point Village, TX.

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

I approach counseling for anxiety and stress from a Cognitive Behavioral perspective. I think it is vital to examine the interplay among your environment, your relationships, your daily routine, your emotions, and your thoughts when it comes to treating anxiety and stress. Treatment often involves making internal or external changes to these aspects of your life. The hope is that changes to one part of your life will produce changes in the other areas.

Anxiety comes from fear. God tells us He "has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." We can access that power by making a conscious decision every day to surrender our anxiety to him. Trust God to take care of you, but also to guide you to others, including friends, clergy, and treatment professionals, who can help you walk this difficult path.

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.
