Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Polkton, NC.

Stress. Everyone has it, and everyone has to deal with it, but just because it's common doesn't mean that it isn't a big deal. Whether it's stress from work, stress from parenting, or stress from relationships, there are things we can do to help decrease the effects of stress. Anxiety and stress are often felt in our bodies, which is why I take a body-based approach to them. Of course, we work on some deep breathing, but we also look at other ways of convincing your brain that you are safe. Modalities like yoga, brainspotting, and polyvagal (or somatic) work can all help decrease that felt response of anxiety.

According to all surveys, stress has reached epidemic proportions., be it from work, family obligations or just living. It affects all aspects of our lives, especially our health. 70% of Dr. visits are stress related. It especially affects how we get along with others around us, and not in a positive way. I have developed a holistic approach to stress reduction that will be highlighted in my forthcoming book slated to be released in 2018. My unique approach helps people identify the causes of their stress, how it is impacting all aspects of their life, especially their relationships with loved ones, and a novel way to reduce that stress that is science based.

Anxiety can take away your personal power at the most important moments and start to have too much control over your behavior. Over time, chronic stress can break down a healthy view of yourself. Starting from our first session, I will support your understanding of anxiety, its biological effects, and its impact on your relationships. I will support you to build on developing insight and develop habits that support anxiety and stress reduction. At the end of therapy, you will have a clear plan for sustained control over anxiety and chronic stress. I'm reachable through phone for a free 20-minute consultation to further discuss your needs and answer any questions about my therapy approach.
