Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Lansdowne, PA.

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. Contact Kevin@kevinfleminphd.com for the ultimate stress and anxiety solution that will literally change your brain's autonomic nervous system patterns while you sit on your butt. 877-606-6161.

You are a unique individual. Together we will work to understand where your anxiety and stress are coming from.

Anxiety can rob you of the ability to be at peace and experience joy. It interferes with relationships and your ability to focus. I will help you interrupt those racing thoughts or worries and to deal with them in a calm and structured way so that you are no longer at their mercy. We can also work to uncover the roots of stress or anxiety so that you have insight into what started those feelings and what may be triggering them. When you can understand yourself, you can begin to take care of yourself and control those feelings in new ways. Call me to discuss what kind of anxiety you struggle with and we will talk about what kind of help you would like.

We all experience anxiety and stress. Life as a human can be very difficult and we are constantly adjusting and trying to find and maintain safety. Anxiety and stress are alert systems that help us to pay attention to what we need. We can learn to manage symptoms and utilize tools to have more control over how we handle the constant changes we face.

Anxiety and stress impact many persons' lives daily. Some people experience stronger levels of anxiety and stress which can meet the criteria for a mental health disorder, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD. Therapy can address this in many different ways. One way is to look at how thoughts and behaviors are linked using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach. Other modalities such as Narrative Therapy or Eco-Systemic Structural Family Therapy may look at how life events and familial patterns impact one's sense of anxiety/stress and the management of these issues. Another approach is mindfulness which helps clients get in touch with their body to work.

Successfully treating anxiety and stress is often illusive. Don't forget - stress and anxiety are not the same thing - kind of like thunder and lightening not being the same thing. It is possible to feel stress without feeling anxious. But, when anxiety flares up, stress is always waiting in the wings. We know that anxiety is a fear-based emotion. Genetics gone awry is to blame. Getting relief from stress is often easier than getting relief from anxiety. Stress can be managed to some extent, but anxiety is innate. We are born with it. Not great news I'm afraid, but there are therapies that can help overly-anxious people find relief. Medication is often the treatment of choice.

To feel occasional anxiety or stress is a normal part of the human condition, especially in today's fast paced world. But if stress is managing you, rather than the other way around, it's time for some help. Not doing so can lead to serious work, relationship, and health problems. There are as many ways to manage stress as there are stressors. Together, we'll find approaches that work for you.

I see this as the "common cold" of mental health issues that every client struggles with on some level. I help clients look at possible past and current factors that may be creating or maintaining the stress and anxiety. If the anxiety/stress is coming from past or current traumatic experiences, EMDR therapy helps clients re-process them to come to a more adaptive view that aids healing. I teach relaxation, deep breathing, and meditation practices to be used at home to decrease the impact of stress and anxiety on a client's life. Finally, I help clients identify and rid themselves of unhealthy relationships that may be creating or maintaining the anxiety.

When we feel a loss of control, it can be scary and disabling. In my practice, I incorporate traditional talk therapy with mindfulness based therapy and yoga practices. Yoga and meditative exercises can help a person regain a sense of control over their thoughts, emotions, and physical body. Being centered within can help significantly reduce anxiety and symptoms created by stress. Take some time for self care and relaxation. I can help you feel more in control of your daily life, rather than feeling as though anxiety has taken control over you.

To help you manage your stress and anxiety symptoms, we start with understanding the nature and patterns of your symptoms in relation to environmental triggers, traumatic life events, and unhelpful thinking patterns that influence your daily perspective. Using a collaborative alliance, we will look for better ways to manage both your external stressors and internal reactions. A cognitive-behavioral approach offers practical methods to understand how thought patterns influence emotional reactions and behaviors. By redirecting and re-framing your thoughts with alternative thoughts, you can experience a reduction in unpleasant emotions and an increase in personal effectiveness.

Anxiety and stress can either be all too familiar or new and shocking experiences for people. No matter what side of that spectrum you find yourself in, it can get to a point where everything that worked before for you when coping with life's issues is no longer working for you anymore. When I meet with clients who are experiencing these particular issues, I, firstly, create a space where they feel understood, empathized with, and safe. I then will help clients to understand the relationship between their thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Then we will work to tackle each of those three areas in order to create the change that they need and/or are hoping for.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

We all have some level of stress & anxiety that is often experienced as fear & worry. For some, however, the anxiety can become overwhelming. This may involve a specific stressor or an increase in life stressors, a phobia, generalized anxiety or even panic symptoms. It is important to identify what might be triggering the anxiety as well as any predisposing causes. I work with individuals to explore the roots of negative thoughts & beliefs & then begin the process of altering them. I also assist in sorting through ineffective coping strategies & replacing them with new & more helpful strategies. This process helps provide relief by addressing both the anxiety symptoms & the underlying cause.

I create a safe, warm, caring atmosphere so that you can share your stressful feelings of anxiety, fear and worry as well as hurt, anger, depression, bitterness, sadness, helplessness, discouragement and hopelessness. You may also be experiencing guilt, shame or grief and serious relationship (marital, family, parent-child, partner, career/job) problems. I can help you shift from this state of emotional and mental distress/darkness to the experience of emotional and mental light. I can also help you heal from the physical and physiological symptoms that often accompany anxiety, stress, fear and worry. (rapid heart beat, rashes, high blood pressure, back and headaches, stomach distress etc

Anxiety and stress coping deficits can be exausting and cause great distress in people's lives. Additionally, what most people typically do to cope with such anxiety (avoidance techniques) can often lead to further anxiety and greater overall suffering. Utilizing the techniques shown to be effective in the CBT literature, we can work together to move through the anxiety issues and get back to a world that is bigger, more meaningful, and much more peaceful.

No matter how long you have been suffering from anxiety - even panic attacks - you can free yourself - mind, body and spirit. When you learn to identify the thought patterns that create anxiety and replace them with more positive thinking, you enjoy greater peace of mind. When you learn to notice tightness as it occurs in your body and release that tension, you become more relaxed. When you connect with the unconditional love and healing power of your Divine Nature you transform old patterns and become the conscious creator of your experience.

Anxiety can be paralyzing and our thoughts and fears can feel like they are running the show, but it doesn't have to be that way. With coping skills and a sense of security, managing anxious thoughts is possible. With techniques such as thought stopping and reframing, we can begin to argue and win the battle against anxiety. With support and a deeper understanding anxiety can be successfully managed.

Got Stress? Get Creative! My favorite daily practice is to smile when I feel one of those feelings (stressed, upset, overwhelmed, anxious…) I immediately feel better and am able to respond effectively to what is in front of me (like car going too slow when I’m in a hurry or someone being rude/ unthoughtful/difficult). I learned this during my training over the years in performance and improv… learning to creatively respond to what’s coming at me/being offered by the world with acceptance and openness. And, as a therapist I have seen how creatively responding verses automatically reacting out of anger, fear, stress, frustration, etc can help clients as well as me. In the....

When anxiety takes hold, it can be easy to fall into a cycle of avoidance. This means avoiding situations or activities that make us feel anxious, in the hopes of reducing our anxiety levels. While this might provide some temporary relief, in the long run it can actually make things worse. Avoidance can reinforce our anxiety, making us feel even more afraid and uncertain about the things we’re avoiding. Over time, this can lead to a decrease in overall life satisfaction and quality of life, as we limit our experiences and miss out on opportunities for growth and enjoyment. Breaking the cycle of avoidance is an important step in managing anxiety, and therapy for anxiety can be a helpful tool.

We experience anxiety in many ways: excessive worry about future events, catastrophic thoughts, insomnia, restlessness, pounding heart, sweating, avoidance of specific things. While we cannot avoid stress, our ways of coping with stressful situations affect our mental, physical and spiritual health.

Together, we develop effective coping strategies to reduce anxiety, regain a sense of empowerment and a return to the calm and balanced life we deserve.
