Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Casselman, ON.

Anxiety is a fear based position stemming from a lack of control. There are varying degrees of anxiety, from day-to-day worries and stress all the way to life-altering, debilitating suffering. I can help you gain a healthy sense of self-control over your invasive thoughts and overwhelming emotions. At the same time, I will gently guide you to a deeper place of trust and dependancy upon the Lord. Anxiety and stress no longer need to rule your life - it is time to gain back the peace and authority that is rightfully yours!

Anxiety and Stress are both life and living challenges. They are part of the normal obstacles we face in our lifetime, be it in health, in illness, in marriage, in couple and relationship issues, in aging and with our children. The thoughts, feelings and behaviors associated with them can often overwhelm and even paralyze us when they occur. In a supportive and empathic environment I help people understand and demystify these feelings and find coping strategies so that they can overcome these crippling experiences in order to live productively again.

If you are struggling with anixety and distress, you are likely aligning with the "hustle for your worthiness, acceptance and belonging" culture we live in, and not in alignment with the true nature, gifts, and needs of who you are. I work with you to explore and identify the distressing story and patterns that you are in, and help you to identify and step into the story you want to be living, that is more aligned with who you are and what you feel most called to do and be in life. I also provide tools to help you better overcome the thought patterns and beliefs that obscure you from your wisdom, and help you to focus on and nurture the beliefs that support optimal wellness.

anxiety and stress is the natural way in which our body reacts to events, to the unknown of future events. What would need to do is to identify what are those triggers that cause the anxiety and stress, as well as what is beneath those triggers. Once doing this it will be important to learn how to learn to deal with them and even if possible through the process of therapy cancel the triggers causing the anxiety.

For anxiety and fears, a multimodal approach will be used with cognitive behavioural therapy and narrative. It will facilitate the identification of the anxiety or fears while creating a preferred narrative surrounding it. The benefits of using the combination of these two approach is that it will allow for an alternative perspective and to better understand what one is thinking and feeling.
