Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Ritchot, MB.

For anxiety and stress treatment, I integrate mindful exercises in helping my clients to be grounded. Be using five senses in walking, drinking, eating, and doing other things, for example, washing dishes, to help my clients to be able to live at present. I may ask my clients which part of their body they could feel the tightness or chronic pain. It can bring awareness for my clients by paying attention to how their bodies react to the stress unconsciously. Tapping exercise is one of the interventions I use with my clients to stimulate their vagus nerves to release their tension.

Whether you're experiencing social anxiety, generalized anxiety, phobias or symptoms of trauma and PTSD, living with anxiety can be very debilitating. You might feel a mix of fight/flight/freeze/fawn, and half the time it feels like you're either buzzing or mostly numb. Talk therapy often has limited effectiveness because your anxiety is not only a "thinking" problem. I often use EMDR alongside talk therapy to help with anxiety treatment because EMDR can help address the anxiety at the body level. Check out our practice website at empoweryoutoday.ca

If you suffer from stress and anxiety you feel overwhelmed with worries and fears that something terrible may happen to you or someone close to you. Anxiety may seem to have a life of its own and you feel powerless to control it. You may have panic attacks. Fortunately stress and anxiety problems are common and treatable. If you suffer from anxiety you join an estimated 14% of the population. You are not alone! Proven treatments that I utilize such as EMDR and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) are effective in lessening or eliminating the pain and suffering caused by anxiety.

Anxiety as a result of stress is one of, if not the major contributing factor to poor health in most areas of people lives. If you have ever been tense before an exam or a visit to the dentist, you have a felt anxiety. Increased heart rate, sweating, rapid breathing, dry mouth, & a sense of dread are common. Changing this involves cognitive & behavioural approaches. Cognitive change is understanding how thoughts contribute to symptoms and how to change thought patterns to reduce the intensity of your anxiety. And behavioral changes involve using techniques to reduce or stop any undesired behaviors that are a result of the anxiety you have been experiencing.

Anxiety has been on the rise in North America for decades. In a culture of privileges and conveniences, thankfully mental health is also being given a helping hand by reducing it's stigma. We are increasing the awareness that stress, anxiety and trauma are human experiences that deserve professional treatment. No one should have to suppress feelings of dread and desperation, but ought to have a safe place to discuss what's going on and find new ways to cope and adapt.

We live in a world full of stress. How can we manage the stress in our lives so that it does not deplete our energy or resources? You will learn what uniquely stresses you and how to effectively manage it. Anxiety can paralyze even the most confident person if it becomes a part of life. We go to the roots of the anxiety so that there is a release of power in those areas where anxiety was most restrictive.

Anxiety tends to be an epidemic in our fast paced, technologically advanced world. Our external experience is busy, and our internal experience is often busy in reaction. Anxiety is made up of thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. I work with clients to slow down to become aware of what anxiety is made up for them, and to support them to develop more creative responses and resources to strike a new, healthier balance, even when anxiety arises.

Stress and anxiety are a normal part of life; stress can occur when any event or thought causes you to feel frustrated, angry, or nervous. Anxiety is a feeling of fear, unease, dread, and worry. The source of anxiety symptoms is not always known. For some people, anxiety persistently interferes with daily activities such as work, school or sleep. This type of anxiety can disrupt relationships and enjoyment of life. Whatever form of anxiety or stress you experience I believe that counseling can help restore functioning, relationships, and overall well being. I provide a safe, non-judgemental environment for my client's as they journey towards wholeness and freedom.

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.

If you're struggling with anxious thoughts, you may find it hard to focus. The fight or flight alarm is going off in your brain, constantly sending you messages starting with "what if...." If worrying is keeping you trapped in a hamster wheel, tired, but unable to rest, you may find yourself turning to addictive substances or behaviours to cope. As an addiction counsellor, I help clients cope with the anxious thoughts keeping them trapped in addictive behaviours. By uncovering these underlying thoughts, I help you develop coping skills so you can gain a sense of focus, clarity, confidence, and freedom from constantly overthinking. Send me a message and I'll guide you through the next steps.

Anxiety and stress are part of life, and help us to survive. Out-of-control stress responses, though, make life hard to bear. I will support you in implementing strategies to handle panic and stress when it hits you, and provide education around what’s happening in our body when the stress response is activated. Using dialectical behavioral therapy, I will help you learn mindfulness and other strategies to tolerate distress and regulate your emotions. We will also look at your lifestyle, and how family of origin and relationship patterns impact your stress levels. In some cases, where trauma is at the root of the anxiety, we may use EMDR to help the brain integrate and heal the trauma.

All of us have times in life where situations create such stress for us that we find living difficult. Others of us have a lifetime struggle with anxiety and panic attacks. I can help clients get back on track and help with coping in order to manage life, and to counter the pull of our negative thoughts and feelings through cognitive behavior therapy and general support.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Anxiety can stem from an actual or perceived threat to your well-being, when internal resources are viewed as inadequate to cope. It can have a paralyzing affect or promote anxious activity to avoid uncomfortable feelings and/or thoughts of feared outcomes. As you learn how past and present experiences contribute to anxious thoughts, and begin to identify personal strengths and new coping techniques, you will begin to experience less anxiety, and increase self-esteem.

The number of people experiencing stress and anxiety is at an all-time high in our society. There are many reasons for this increase, and therapy is the perfect place to explore your underlying reasons. Once we have a better understanding of your stressors and the causes of your anxiety (and the type if applicable), together we can create a toolbox of methods and strategies to help alleviate the symptoms of stress and anxiety.

To be alive is to endure some angst. But we often become needlessly knotted up and wracked with worry about so many future events - things which will largely never come to pass. I help bring you away from speeding ahead, back to yourself. I utilize Cognitive Behavioural training and tools, but also a vibrant and interactive understanding of what is driving your stress and anxiety.
