Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Saugeen Shores, ON.

The Men’s & Woman's Group at New Life Potentials is a “here and now” process educational/therapy group that provides an opportunity for men to support and mentor each other. To become more empowered in their personal, professional, and relational lives. It is a confidential, safe and supportive environment where men can find understanding and encouragement. Through therapeutically guided interactions amongst group members, as well as intensive self-exploration, introspection and reflection, participants have an opportunity to develop the tools to better manage the areas in their lives that are ‘stuck’ or in ‘crisis’. The "authentic life" is one that is free of stress and anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a therapy approach which addressed emotional responses, maladaptive behaviours and cognitive processes that do not work. It uses a number of goal oriented approaches and exercises. The name refers to therapy based upon a combination of basic behavioural and cognitive principles supported by research. Most therapists dealing with anxiety use this approach.

Low levels of anxiety can motivate us to accomplish goals and perform at our best. As the level of experienced anxiety creeps higher, it robs us of our joy and can make us feel overwhelmed resulting in either inactivity or a compulsion to be overactive yet not experiencing any lasting relief. Our sense of internal peace and calm is replaced by perpetual overthinking and fear. Let's work together to gain insight into the root cause of your anxiety so that we are able to empower you to reclaim your experience of joy and a sense of internal calm.

While anxiety and stress in small amounts can be a helpful source of information, too much can become overwhelming and even interfere with our daily lives. Therapy can be a space to explore the impacts of anxiety and how it may have become engrained into your self-narrative. You and I can work together to co-create coping strategies that are unique to your specific situation. Contact me to book a free consultation so we can decide together if we would be a good fit.
