Anxiety
There are so many ways people experience anxiety; “not being able to shut off my brain”, feeling tense, “worrying about everything”, headaches, or stomachaches.
It gets to the point where you really learn to live with and accommodate your anxiety and you wonder if there really is another way.
There is another way.
In the treatment of anxiety, I work with both the “background” anxiety and the “spikes” of anxiety that are triggered by everyday events. First, I would seek to lower your baseline anxiety. Together, we will discuss what activities (e.g. meditation, mindfulness, self-care rituals) will help your mind and body spend more time in a relaxed state. Second, we will explore everyday situations that trigger anxiety. You have probably learned to “white knuckle” through these situations or found ways to avoid them altogether. I will introduce strategies that will help you cope and we will also explore why these particular situations get such a response from you.
