Therapy for anxiety

You feel nervous, apprehensive and doubt yourself to a level that seems disproportionate. 

You stay up at night, your mind racing from one thought to the next.

You try to relax in various ways; maybe you meditate or do some yoga, but the chatter won't stop and you start feeling like you're trapped and helpless. 

Everyone experiences some level of anxiety periodically, but when feelings of dread and worry are overwhelming, recurring, and not directly linked to stressful events, anxiety may leave you severely impaired.

Treatment for anxiety

I use different therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, somatic therapy and EMDR depending on your needs, and the source of your anxiety. 

Getting the support of a therapist specialized in anxiety could make all the difference.  

Effective anxiety therapy can significantly reduce or eliminate symptoms associated with anxiety, allowing a person to resume regular activities and regain a sense of control.

Integrative approach to treating anxiety

A therapist specialized in anxiety issues can help you develop coping skills to alleviate your symptoms. Various breathing techniques, meditation, exercise, tools to calm your nervous system, and assertive communication are some of the tools that may help you. My approach to anxiety integrates mind and body, as anxiety is mainly felt as unpleasant bodily sensations.

What is anxiety?

People who are anxious may typically experience some:

• obtrusive, obsessive, worried thoughts,

• confusion and difficulty concentrating

• pacing or restlessness

• irritability

• frustration

• despair

Generalized anxiety

One of the most common occurrences of anxiety is called generalized anxiety, it is characterized by a chronic sense of unease, doom, and worry that is not directed toward any one thing in particular.

Many people often feel anxiety about specific future events such as job interviews, dates, or financial concerns.

Other people experience a generalized anxiety about any number of issues for no obvious reason: the anxiety experienced seems justified in appearance but is usually disproportionate to the actual impact of a particular event.

Whether you're experiencing generalized anxiety or a more specific kind such as flight anxiety, social anxiety, relationship anxiety or separation anxiety, you've noticed how much it interferes with your daily life, and you've had enough. You're ready to make a change.
