Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Grande Prairie, AB.

Anxiety. It is that feeling of impending dread. The tightness in your chest that makes it hard to breath. The wave of nausea that sweeps over you. The rapid heartbeat, the sweaty palms, the trembling. Nothing about anxiety is comforting. This is why we avoid it. But what if I told you that, to a certain extent, anxiety is normal and even beneficial. Feeling anxious means that you care about something and when you care about something, you try your best to succeed. When working with anxiety, the goal is not to eliminate it but rather to control it to your benefit. This is accomplished through recognizing your patterns and altering those that work against you.

Most people do not like feeling anxious or stressed. People are not saying I am glad to be stressed or anxious. What do we do when this happens. We need to process it and for most people counselling is a place for processing. Along with processing stress and anxiety comes a deeper longing to to be heard and validated and to sometimes be given new skills or strategies. What ever you need whether an ear to listen, heart to understand or ideas for coping with it I can provide it in comfortable environment.
