Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Highland Park, TX.

A certain amount of Anxiety and Stress are normal in life. But when life gets too big, we sometimes lose the ability to deal with them effectively and need help. There are many ways that counseling can help bring relief (some of it immediately!) in these areas. Some people find relaxation tools are helpful in day to day approaches but we also need to be able to tap into other tools when that is not enough. With an expanded tool kit, we have more options, more tools, to deal with stress and anxiety where we do not have to live in their relentless shadow.

The goal of therapy is to stop the behaviors that have had devastating effects on you and those around you and to create more of what you do want in your life; healthy relationships, meaningful time with family and friends, increased productivity at work, feeling comfortable in your own skin, and sustained peace of mind.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help my clients get a sense of control over their own anxiety. We collaborate to learn skills to reduce the frequency or intensity of the anxious feelings, to tolerate the anxiety when it does occur so they can still function through it, and to practice habits that reduce stress and improve general mental health.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming and there is often a tendency to avoid situations that a person feels will cause further or increased anxiety. Interestingly, when a person is able to address or move toward what causes them anxiety, they move toward the answer to the feelings or sensations they are experiencing. The answers lie in approaching what cause us anxiety rather than avoiding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy gently assists a person in learning to approach what causes anxiety and find the answers to overcome the feelings of being overwhelmed.

Clients presenting for relief from anxiety and stress may achieve their goals via cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT. Lowering anxiety often entails replacing irrational thinking and feeling with better thoughts and beneficial feelings- and consequently, different behaviors become possible that are beneficial for change. Clients can achieve mental discipline and more control over their feelings than they typically believe is possible when they first come in for counseling. Emotional intelligence is a goal that can be achieved by understanding what self differentiation means and how it is a valuable part of the family systems theory approach that I use with clients.

As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the impact that anxiety and stress can have on individuals and families. Thankfully, the Bible provides wisdom and guidance on how to manage these difficult emotions.
