Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Brier, WA.

Descriptions of anxiety often end up sounding like torture. Probably the best (and worst) description I heard this year was “Anxiety is that feeling of falling toward the ground when tripping… consistently over long stretches of time.” Anxiety amplifies every individual moment and stretches it out in terror, dread, and overstimulation. Anxiety is also the largest and fastest growing category of diagnosis in the DSM. Wherever you are from worrisome thoughts to panic attacks, anxiety is exhausting and unpleasant. How can we reclaim our bodies while knowing God in moments of anxiety? New Ground Counseling is Biblical Counseling in Kirkland, WA.

Anxiety can take away your personal power at the most important moments and start to have too much control over your behavior. Over time, chronic stress can break down a healthy view of yourself.

I will support you to build on developing insight and develop habits that support anxiety and stress reduction. At the end of therapy, you will have a clear plan for sustained control over anxiety and chronic stress. I'm reachable through phone for a free 20-minute consultation to further discuss your needs and answer any questions about my therapy approach.

Did you know that anxiety disorders are the number one mental health disorder in the United States?

Does worry interfere with your responsibilities or daily life, disrupting normal activities, causing you to miss social events? Does it seem like you can’t stop your mind from racing as you worry about all kinds of things and often expect the worst? If you answered yes, you may be suffering from generalized anxiety.

Anxiety is one of the body's natural responses to external and internal situations. Some anxiety is normal, and to be expected when we are encountering new, or fearful situation. On the other hand, too much anxiety can be overwhelming, and can keep you from doing many of the things you want to be doing. But Anxiety doesn't have to rule your life!

The treatment of anxiety and stress first begins with the management of the symptoms bringing you in for treatment. Without having these symptoms under control, it is difficult for individuals to begin to examine the reasons behind the anxiety without provoking more anxiety. Once these symptoms are addressed, we will start to examine the life situations you are in and the relationships, stories, family roles and events that may be the roots of the stress and subsequent anxiety. With some time, consistency, openness and commitment to the process, individuals will find anxiety more manageable and the enjoyment of every day returned.

You do not need to live with anxiety. You know what I mean, the clenching in your stomach or the butterflies, the all too familiar headaches, the tightness in your shoulders or chest, the difficulty sleeping, the constant worrying. These symptoms and others are the result of anxiety. I offer a confidential, safe, and supportive place to talk about what you are experiencing and what you need to live with less fear more joy. There is a way to greater health and well-being.

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.
