Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Traverse City, MI.

A certain amount of anxiety and stress is expected and common in everyday life. When our response to these things becomes "stuck" or in "overdrive", we end up having a difficult time. This is part of the "fight, flight or freeze" response that our mind and body does automatically. At some point in life we needed to respond in this way, unfortunately we subconsciously stayed there without going back to our previous state of calm. Together we can find the reasons why and then increase your awareness and coping skills so YOU are in control again.

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.

Life is stressful. Stress can cause anxiety if it is not dealt with effectively. Understanding what stressors you have are important to begin reducing the level of anxiety. Talking with someone is a great way to begin to sort out the things that are really causing the stress, and then to formulate a plan to reduce the stress. Secondly, it is important to learn how to manage anxiety. Anxiety is caused by the tension between two opposite pressures. For example, you want to get a degree, so you need to take the speech class, but you can't stand the idea of getting up in front of people. Learning how to cope in these situations can help you to reach the goals you want to in life.
