Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Campbell River, BC.

Common treatment for anxiety and stress includes a combination of cognitive behavioural therapy, stress management techniques and having a good self care plan (things you actively do to nurture yourself: walking, swimming, Yoga, mediation, volunteering). For deeper and longstanding issues, psychodynamic approaches tend to be more successful at reaching some point of resolution. Should anxiety and stress negatively impact your quality of life, be it immediate crisis, or longstanding, I can help you move to taking control of your life circumstances (stressors), an alleviate the stress your experiencing.

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.
