Do you feel overwhelmed? Does anxiety and worry prevent you from living the way you would like? Counselling can give you a safe space to freely communicate and process your emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most popular therapy for anxiety disorders. It has been shown to be highly effective in helping people with both generalized and social anxiety.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists. Contact Kevin@kevinfleminphd.com for the ultimate stress and anxiety solution that will literally change your brain's autonomic nervous system patterns while you sit on your butt. 877-606-6161.

Stress and anxiety are normal responses to the pressures and constraints of everyday life. They can be helpful signals to us to slow down or to introduce some lifestyle changes. For some people, these simple changes do not alleviate the stress and anxiety. I work with my clients to explore any thinking they may be engaging in (CBT) or exploring other lifestyle or relational issues which may be problematic and work with them to manage the anxiety/stress through relaxation techniques, mindfulness, or lifestyle changes, and explore whether referral to their family doctor might be beneficial.

We all experience anxiety and stress from time to time. Stress from life cannot be eliminated but it can be ameliorated. Through psychoeducation I can teach you how stress and anxiety are adaptive and life saving. You can learn how to get out of your caveman brain and move into pre-frontal cortex brain to relieve symptoms of anxiety. I can teach you about anxiety responses: fight, flight, freeze and fawning, and how not to fear these anymore. Don't forget to breathe!

External stressors cause internal reactions as a survival mechanism. Fight, flight, freeze! being tense and constantly hypervigilant is exhausting and often leads to the development of fatigue and generally unhelpful habits (working too much, drinking too much, eating too much, using anger to obtain what we and then feeling guilty & ashamed). Learning to relax, have fun and enjoy life on its own terms is critical. To help people accomplish this task, I start with providing education about what happens physiologically when we are under stress. Then, I teach CBT based strategies including confronting unhelpful thought patterns, exposure and connecting with and processing difficult emotions.

Anxiety, and the stress it produces, is a fear-based emotion. It is often based on irrational thoughts about the idea of situations going badly or having gone in ways that seemed worse than they may be. It can also relate to interactions with persons who are frightening or intimidating or also persons who we wish to impress. The resulting stress can produce a range of emotional and physical responses. Anxiety can be controlled and reduced when it's causes are understood. Some anxiety - also known as nervousness or anticipation is normal and can be beneficial. It is important to understand the difference between what is managable and what is an detrimental level of anxiety.

In these unprecedented times in our lives many of us are dealing with feelings of great uncertainty about our individual future and how to handle and cope with life changes. Repetitive thoughts are often aligned with anxiety. Anxiety has a cyclical pattern and unless it is interrupted it will run its course, causes overwhelming feelings of fear and despair. Through a compassionate and observational lens reducing stress and anxiety will cultivate focus and clarity. Learning to connect to our senses is very grounded and can quickly break the anxiety cycle and help bring us back to our own center. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Stress and anxiety when present within healthy limits can stimulate, motivate, challenge, warn and activate our bodies to react accordingly to the situation. When it's too much, too intense and for too long, stress and anxiety lead to poor functioning, impairment and exhaustion resulting in stress and anxiety overload, contributing heavily to triggering anxiety disorders. In my therapy, I use therapeutic approaches and techniques that help reduce stress and anxiety and enhance the quality of your life and build your emotional resilience. You develop skills to minimize distress and maximize efficacy in many areas of your living and live life in a happier and healthier manner
