Anxiety and Stress are the norm in today's world. Our fast-paced society pulls our attention in many directions and often away from ourselves. Being disconnected from our feelings, needs and wants is often a cause of anxiety. Mindfulness-based counselling is a powerful way to have us create an island of sanity for ourselves amidst the speed of our lives. By learning to reconnect with ourselves amidst the busyness of life, we are put back into relationship with our hearts and what is truly meaningful to us.

Our counsellors use many different methods one of them being EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brain Spotting. These methods use eye movement and placement to see more deeply where traumatic events link themselves to specific symptoms in a client. Anxiety and Stress can come from many things and often talk therapy can be incredibly helpful. This is an excellent place to start.

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.

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.
