Anxiety and stress -- ah, how I know you both so well. Let's call them the twins as they tend to accompany so many of us this way on our journey in life. My goal in therapy is to help people have a better understand of what makes the twins (anxiety and stress) act out. What are the triggers in life, in their body, interpersonally that cause them to become unruly? These triggers are trying to teach us something. The question is what. For some, it may be linked to self esteem. For others it may be resources they need to engage to help fulfill their dreams. We then address better coping techniques to help people move past these difficulties and onto their dreams. We also use biofeedback.

Sometimes that stress is like the water we swim in--we may not notice our stress level until we are feeling overwhelmed and on the raw edge of an angry outburst or the helpless feeling of hopeless collapse.

Anxiety and stress seem to the two factors that are running most people's lives. Between, work, performances, home, family, friends, returning phone calls and emails and all the additional pressures of life, stress and anxiety can simply become overwhelming.

The therapeutic relationship established by a professional counselor often substantially decreases and relieves the wave of anxiety that can paralyze anyone.

Stress and anxiety are inescapable in our culture. We have to deal with work, family, school, finances, relationships, health, and spirituality, and all too often, they conflict. It is how we handle it that determines how it impacts our lives. For some of us, our anxiety seems to take over our lives, whether it be generalized or related to specific issues. For others, we often do not realize the symptoms of stress until it overwhelms us. There are mental, emotional, behavioral, and health-related symptoms. If not dealt with, it can impact our relationships, our health, and our functioning. I specialize in helping people learn healthy ways to manage and overcome anxiety and stress.

Unrecognized fears, such as loss and/or failure sometimes feed one's anxiety and stress. Other times anxiety and stress might be read as a need for change. Often times having the space and freedom to vent relieves this pressure but when talking is not enough we will look at the width of your anxiety threshold and explore ways of pushing against the confining walls that seem to keep you trapped in this space.

Anxiety can be a debilitating condition that manifests in any number of behaviors including such things as isolating, and OCD rituals, to name a few. Many people who experience high anxiety have panic attacks which literally create a physical response that often mimics a heart attack. Panic attacks are terrifying and can sometimes occur without a trigger. When that happens, the fear of the panic attack is as intense as the anxiety itself which often causes more frequent and intense panic. The root of anxiety is fear. There are a number of therapeutic modalities that have scientific evidence that supports their effectiveness. I work to discover the cause and then find the right modality.

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.

Anxiety and stress are related, but not the same. Anxiety is a fear of what may happen. Anxiety is imagining what you most desire NOT to happen. When we trap emotions and fears inside, the energy gets stuck and can manifest as anxiety. Identification of what you are holding onto or fearing is the way through anxiety. We don't get rid of anxiety. We simply learn how to choose better coping mechanism. www.melissaquiter.com

WalkinTalkinTherapy can be a crucial component in the fight against anxiety and stress. Anxiety is a feeling of fear, unease, and worry. The source of these symptoms is not always known. Stress can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous. You may have a harder time focusing, feel tired most of the time, or lose your temper more often. Stress may also cause sexual problems. It can also cause problems with falling or staying asleep and nightmares. While scientists have long known that exercise can temporarily boost serotonin levels and improve mood, the latest research shows it can have a deeper and more lasting effect when combined with talk therapy.
