Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Crescent City, FL.

When we are struggling emotionally, we know that it impacts our day to day functioning. What starts with fear often leads to worry. Worry leads to anxiety and anxiety can lead to stress. What starts out as some degree of fear only grows in intensity until we are experiencing the physical symptoms of stress in our body; headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, muscle tension, tight jaw, griffin teeth, TMJ, lower back pain and more. In therapy, we process these distressful feelings and explore what healthy rhythms might facilitate the change we desire.

Anxiety is a state of mental tension and physical symptoms that can exhaust us. It is our body’s response to our perception of a threat. This includes phobias, worry and panic attacks. Many times our anxiety is triggered by a recent event that is connected to a painful event from our past. We can’t change our past. However, we can change how the past is affecting us today. With every hurtful event comes emotional pain and a negative belief about you. In psychotherapy with me, that event can be processed in a way that removes the pain and replaces the negative belief with a positive belief of your choosing. This can reduce and eliminate the symptoms of Anxiety and Stress. See emdr.com

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.

I work with anxiety and stress by helping individuals learn and develop tools to re-regulate their nervous system. When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.
