Anxiety comes in many forms and isn't usually a welcome part of our life. Fortunately, there are many ways to improve how you respond to your anxiety so that you can enjoy life, be productive, have healthy relationships, and boost your creativity.
See if any one of the following apply to you. I invite you to call or set up a free consultation if you:
Think your worries interfere with work or important relationships
Want to feel more "in the moment," and get more enjoyment from your activities
Find yourself having obsessive thoughts
Feel compelled to engage in unwanted behaviors
Have panic attacks
Find yourself using more alcohol or other substances to feel calm or quiet anxious feelings
Notice physical changes like loss of appetite, weight gain or loss, or have an upset stomach in response to stress
Are being treated for anxiety by your doctor or psychiatrist
Exert a lot of effort to avoid certain situations that provoke fear or anxiety (phobia)
Frequently feel indecisive or miss opportunities because of being too cautious
Take the First Step Today to Transform Anxiety
We all know that stress and anxiety are useful. All animals must have the ability to feel anxiety or else they cannot respond to their environment. If you are alive, then you are supposed to be able to be anxious or stressed in certain situations. Humans have a special kind of anxiety, however, because of our brain's ability to imagine threats without external stimuli. If you can't turn this mechanism off, anxiety and fear can become your whole life.
Managing anxiety with cognitive or behavioral strategies only works for a period of time-and usually only when you use them. I will show you how you can relate to your anxiety so that it doesn't have to be managed. Don't believe it's possible? It doesn't happen overnight, but I am confident that my approach, using the IFS model, is something you probably haven't tried before. If we decide together that IFS is the right approach for you, it can be much more effective than traditional psychotherapy or cognitive-behavioral approaches.
No stigmatizing diagnosis, just help.
I don't provide a diagnosis for your symptoms of anxiety unless you request one for insurance reimbursement purposes. Most of us are already highly critical of ourselves when we are anxious. This tends to make us more anxious! While I do believe it's important to know what is wrong, I have found that most problems are solved by using a method of thinking other than the one that created the problem.
