Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Plattsmouth, NE.

Anxiety Disorders are generally created by either negative Cognitions (Scripts) learned in childhood, a lack of intimate connection to other people, and/or from Traumatic experiences, such as physical or sexual abuse. Steve's approach to eliminating Anxiety from client's lives includes teaching Cognitive Behavioral tools that enable clients to re-write their own scripts and then, if necessary, to Re-process Traumatic memories and other faulty learning with EMDR. Other tools taught or used include Deep Breathing Techniques, Exercise and Diet, Communication skills, and group involvement. Clients will become able to eliminate Anxiety any time it occurs with the use of their new Coping Skills

Anxiety interferes with the roles and relationships in your life by preventing you from being content and present in whatever activity you are doing at the time. It can feel terrifying and leave you feeling hopeless about life ever getting better. The way to attack stress and anxiety in counseling is by talking through the fears and allowing yourself to experience them in a slow, safe way. This can lead to freedom from the constant feelings of doom, from panic attacks, and from high stress, and result in greater freedom to experience joy and peace in your life.

It doesn't take long before my clients who struggle with Anxiety are haunted by my saying, "Anxiety feeds on Ambiguity". Indeed, much of my work with Anxiety centers around nailing down specifics. Let's talk about what, specifically, could happen if you do "X". I work with clients to identify early warning signs the body sends to warn us that Anxiety or a Panic Attack are on their way. While I may talk about overcoming stress and anxiety in simple words, I understand that anxiety is a complex condition and there is no "one size fits all" recipe for stress management.
