Anxiety and stress are sometimes helpful responses and can carry important information for us about our current lives. However, they can also be overwhelming and come with sensations that are difficult to tolerate. I can help you learn techniques to soothe your body, regain balance, and address the mind chatter that may be perpetuating your anxiety.

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.

Anxiety is actually our "friend", that is alerting us to something we need to pay attention to. So, anxiety first needs to be listened to before "managing" it. We could be feeling anxious because of medical reasons or past traumas are being triggered. Stress, on the other hand, is something we do need to "manage". If we don't manage stress, it will manage us. It is important to occasionally consider how much stress we actually are carrying and figure out what can be reduced or eliminated. We have only so much energy available to us to spend on our own unique load of stresses. So stress management is really about energy management.

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.

Through a multi-faceted approach, clients' anxious thoughts and feelings are explored without judgment. I work on helping clients to take small, purposeful actions toward their core values despite their anxiety. Additionally, we explore the stories that the client tells themselves about their anxiety, empowering them to reframe these narratives and regain a sense of control. Together, we also uncover and begin to understand any parts of the client that are activated by anxiety. My goal is to help my clients to cultivate greater emotional flexibility and resilience to help them navigate anxiety in a way that aligns with their true self.

Have you experienced tightness in chest, shortness in breath, rapid heart rate, upset stomach, or the urgency to go to your safe place? Anxiety can manifest into physical and emotional symptoms that can affect our thoughts, feelings, and sensations. We all experience different amounts of anxiety, and sometimes, it can be too difficult to manage and make one feel uncomfortable. Anxiety is one of the leading mental health concerns in Canada. Through evidence based research, counselling has been very effective for treating anxiety and panic. Learning ways to cope with the symptoms of anxiety can help manage anxiety so that it doesn't control us.
