Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Swift Current, SK.

Life comes with many unexpected curveballs and sometimes we feel powerless or voiceless in knowing how to navigate our way through. Experiencing anxiety or stress is not bad, but rather is our body's way of identifying that we feel endangered and we need to protect ourselves from harm. Anxiety & Stress Counselling provides a space for clients to consider what is causing them to feel unsafe and to determine if their responses to this fear are justified and helpful. By openly discussing our honest thoughts we can create a plan that increases our sense of security and decreases the anxiety and stress that we feel.

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.
