Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Breslau, ON.

Anxiety can be overwhelming and draining and take us away from living the life that we want. In therapy, we will work on skills and tools that you can use to manage and live with anxiety. Together, we can discover what is preventing you from living a life that is not impacted by the overwhelm and stress of anxiety and anxiety symptoms. By understanding anxiety and what it's purpose is we can start to live with it rather than against it.

Stress and anxiety trigger the internal alarm system, alerting us to a threat, and activating our nervous system, sending a flood of stress hormones through the body in preparation to fight the threat, or run from it. When the brain determines the threat is gone it sends the signal that the body returns to its natural calm state. But what if the brain fails to tell the body that the threat is gone? This is where stress and anxiety start to build and become seemingly impossible to endure. I work with my clients to reduce the presence of stress, to cope and mange it better, while learning how to intentionally activate the body's calming mechanisms.

There are multiple conditions associated with anxiety and stress, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Adjustment Disorder or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. These are all complex conditions that require specific and nuanced therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Exposure Therapy or Cognitive Processing Therapy. When delivered by a trained, qualified and experience professional, these treatments are considered highly effective.

Living with anxiety or having a high stress can have an impact on every area of our lives. Emotional health, physical health, relationships and careers can all suffer as a result.

It is normal to worry and feel stressed about life's problems and pressures. But when compounded symptoms begin to overwhelm us to the point where we are getting headaches, heart palpitations, a churning stomach, cold sweats, sleepless nights, weight loss, obsessive thoughts, a distressed GI tract - then we need help to break the adrenaline-fear cycle. Anxiety feeds on fear and needs to be confronted, appropriately and safely, with relaxation techniques, new perceptions and constructive thinking patterns. A counsellor can help you do this.

Anxiety and Stress can be such a plague to people who suffer from them. These symptoms can be extremely debilitating and frustrating. Suffering from these long enough will lead to other problems such as anger or depression. My goal for working with clients is to explore these symptoms, their origin, and a client's best hopes of living a life beyond just the impact of these symptoms.

When our lives get overwhelmed with anxiety and stress it can be hard to ask for help. I commend you for taking the first step and reaching out. In our sessions I will create a compassionate space for you to talk about difficult topics without judgment. I use an informal, conversational approach to therapy where I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). I support my clients in developing effective coping strategies that enable them to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.

It is hard to understand anxiety unless you have experienced it. Anxiety is a lot like an unwanted guest at a party, only this guest often ruins everything and seemingly never wants to leave. People who live with anxiety are often misunderstood, minimized or dismissed as irrational by those who do not understand what it is like to feel anxious. Additionally, many people living with anxiety often blame themselves for their anxious thinking, which can often make things worse. I help men to better cope with their anxiety by working together to find and practice the tools and techniques that work for them so they can successfully deal with those unwanted/and poorly timed anxious moments.

Life is often full of various situations and challenges, leading to both anxiety and stress. This anxiety and/or stress can include a myriad of different symptoms and reasons for why it is happening! Not allowing anxiety to control your life and instead learning strategies for taking control of the anxiety itself can help to make significant changes in your life. I am here to help you to understand the anxiety, reasons for it and ways to work through it.

My approach to treating anxiety and stress often involves integrating cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques and relaxation strategies into the work that I do with clients. By helping clients identify negative thought patterns, I am able to guide them in developing more helpful coping mechanisms. Mindfulness practices such as meditation and breathing exercises foster a sense of calm and present-moment awareness. Additionally, relaxation techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation reduce physical tension. Clients benefit from these methods by experiencing reduced symptoms, improved emotional regulation and enhanced overall well-being.

People often wrongly assume that anxiety and stress come purely from inside our minds or from our circumstances - both of which are hard to control. In our sessions together we'll draw on multiple disciplines and teach you how to do simple exercises that can rewire your nervous system and help you feel at peace in your- regardless of what is happening around you. We'll also explore how to improve your thinking in ways that can protect you from feeling overwhelmed when anxiety pops up.

Anxiety is like a constant churning of worry and self-doubt. It may push us away from social activities, isolate us in our homes, identify fearful objects and preoccupy us with order and routine. It may even leave us terrified and thinking we are losing our minds. These and other presentations of anxiety require attention and care. The earlier we attend to the demands of anxiety, the sooner we can begin to become free of it. Stress is different, although it feels the same at times. Your care needs to be tailored to the specifics of what you are experiencing. I practice Integrated Therapy, which offers a selective approach to using all the tools and forms of counselling available to help you.

In my experience, the combination of schema therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective approach to dealing with anxiety. This method digs deeper than CBT alone and brings forth insights that guide us to specific stress and anxiety management priorities tailored to your needs. This is an amplified form of CBT that will open a new door to your recovery.

More than ever today, anxiety and stress are on the increase. And anxiety and stress can take on many different symptoms, such as sleepless, racing thoughts, negative self beliefs, physical discomfort and what feels like irrational fear, to name a few. Working with people who are dealing with anxiety and stress is something I find rewarding, as we explore coping strategies and identify new boundaries to live a healthy life.

Anxiety is our body’s way of getting us ready for action, getting us ready to fight or flee in a given situation which, while helpful in keeping us alive, can be very unhelpful when it negatively impacts our ability to live our daily lives. I work collaboratively with clients to explore how anxiety and stress show up in their lives, and to strengthen and develop strategies to minimize the impact they have on living the life you want to live. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

Anxiety has many sources and can mean many different things. It is always experienced physiologically in the same way, no matter the source or meaning. Anxiety arises when we move into unknown territory. This is normal. It arises when something of value to us is threatened. We can think of this as "sacred" anxiety. Or we can become anxious about being anxious, worried about things over which we have no control. This is neurotic anxiety. I work with people to first understand the source and meaning of their anxiety. Then work to help them learn to calm the anxiety down in order to take appropriate action in dealing with its source.
