Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Bridgeport, TX.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help my clients get a sense of control over their own anxiety. We collaborate to learn skills to reduce the frequency or intensity of the anxious feelings, to tolerate the anxiety when it does occur so they can still function through it, and to practice habits that reduce stress and improve general mental health.

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more. I work with anxiety and stress by helping individuals learn and develop tools to re-regulate their nervous system. When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.

Anxiety and stress are a normal part of life. We tend to experience stress when we are responding to a potential threat. We then tend to experience anxiety in reaction to stress. The issues arise when the feelings of anxiety and stress get out of control. I like to offer physical tools to help like exercise, and breathing techniques including breath prayers and tapping. I also provide my clients with scriptures and prayers to meditate on to help take you the worried, distracted thoughts that hep fuel your stressful and anxious feelings.

Anxiety is much more than fear; it is the sum total of stressors on your body. Nonetheless, deep fears and traumas constitute some of the biggest contributors to anxiety, and these can heal! Our bodies are not made to live in constant anxiety. All of us know our pathway back to health. We must be listened to deeply, and ditch the facades. It is our job to ask the right questions to guide you there.

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.
