Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Canora, SK.

Chronic anxiety and stress can be bad for us physically, as well as mentally and emotionally. When not dealt with, anxiety and stress can cause depression, relational difficulties, and many more issues. In counselling, we will look at how to decrease the amount of stress and anxiety in your life through changing your lifestyle. We will also address thought patterns that may be increasing and sustaining your stress and anxiety. Finally, we will look at what messages you have accepted in your life that may be influencing the way you perceive yourself and the world around you.

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.
