Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Gardner, KS.

We often go through our lives in a chronic state of anxiety. Often feeling overwhelmed by not knowing what it is we're even anxious about. I help clients identify the "why" behind their anxiety. Once we identify the why and other emotions present, we can identify what we need. Once we are able to work towards meeting that need, often our anxiety subsides. Learning to relate to our anxiety with compassion, is also a critical step in lowering and regulating symptoms of anxiety.

Anxiety and stress can be debilitating, affecting all areas of life--school, work and relationships especially. Anxiety and stress are internally self-perpetuating, and can lead to panic attacks or anxiety attacks. Panic and anxiety attacks are scary and can feel like you're dying, making someone feel hopeless and helpless. However, therapy can provide significant relief from anxiety and stress. Through the use of talk therapy, yoga and conscious breathing, art and sand tray therapy, and EMDR; relief is possible. Therapy can provide the relief you're looking for, so you can finally rest peacefully, live life confidently and fearlessly, and finally take a deep breath and breathe.

We are not born with anxiety. Anxiety and stress are a learned way to cope with difficult situations, and they actually do not help the situation, they just make it worse. Medication treats the symptoms, and can be helpful, but it does not heal anything. I want to work with you to help discover what is the reason you react this way and others don't. We can explore how you learned this, and discover if there is indeed a better coping mechanism available to you.

Everyone experiences anxiety or stress in some from or another at some point in their lifetimes. But with those who suffer severely from them, anxiety and stress can make it very difficult to make it through a normal day. When working with clients who suffer from anxiety and stress my goal is to teach them a variety of ways cope. In my sessions I teach easy techniques that can be used in a pinch, to more in depth anxiety and stress reductions techniques. My goal is for my clients to feel like they are not alone I their suffering and that anxiety and stress can get better with work.

Is your anxiety keeping you from living your life fully, or keeping you from attaining your goals? Daily responsibilities or personal trauma can create anxiety and stress that is difficult to overcome alone. I create an environment with client's that is safe and encouraging, teaching them the skills they need to overcome their anxiety and deal more effectively with stress. I utilize CBT and hypnotherapy to get to the source of the anxiety and depression and teach new skills that alleviate anxiety and depression.

Anxiety often develops during our growing up years that seem to manifest itself during our adult years when the stresses of life can take its tole. We will explore the root of your anxiety, as well as teach skills to manage it before it gets out of hand. If willing, using hypnosis can help one get in touch with those often forgotten memories. Through hypnosis, one can express the pain, frustration, hurt and anger that often gets stored in our bodies.
