Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Oxford, NS.

Anxiety can take up all our attention and feel like it has completely overwhelmed our ability to live freely and happily. I approach anxiety counselling by helping the client attend to their thoughts and feelings and then let them go -radical acceptance and letting go -not engaging in warfare with the thoughts or feelings and neither allowing them to fuse to the client. Exercises such as mindfulness help clients de-fuse from their anxious thoughts and feelings. We work at this while focusing on the values of the client, what the client wants their life to stand for. It's an exciting and hope-filled journey!

While our bodies are perfectly designed to adapt and react to stress, modern problems mean that we tend to detect life threatening dangers in very ordinary places. Conflicts at work, arguments in our relationships and uncertainties such as the post-Covid world activate old survival mechanisms. We may be stuck in the buzzing, fear states of ‘fight-flight’ or the numb and paralyzed states of ‘freeze and shut down.’ The good news is that I have a long history of safely and successfully helping individuals and couples to reduce and release stress using a variety of CBT and mindfulness techniques, as well as trauma-informed therapy. You have my commitment to compassionate and educated care.
