Anxiety is a major issue that needs to be addressed and properly maintained to achieve balance in life. Interesting to learn is that there is such a thing as positive anxiety: "eustress". Eustress is the perfect amount of anxiety to keep one attentive, alert, and performing well. "Distress" on the other hand, will create a shut-down or dysfunction in behaviour. Critical to understand is that negative messages we send ourselves ('Cognitive Distortions') significantly contribute to distress. Anxiety is real and it can be overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be.

In working with anxiety and stress we will talk about the larger 'problem' and think of different ways of framing or addressing it. This will occur over several sessions. In each session however we will introduce or practice a technique that the client can use to manage the symptoms of anxiety. Some of the techniques are visual, but I also usually do 5 minutes of meditation or breathing exercises. I used to live in India and credit my yoga instructors there for the breathing exercises I have learned to cope with anxiety. I always ask clients at the end of the session what their 'take-away' is, and we collaborate on a short and long term plan moving forward.

Stress is an everyday fact of life, one that we cannot avoid. Not all stress is bad and it is, in fact, essential to life. If you interpret events in your life in a negative way you are likely to provoke anxiety. In order to make positive changes you will need to understand how you cope with stress. After a few sessions you will have a number of adaptive ways to cope with stress and a much more positive outlook on life.
