Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Grapevine, TX.

Axiety and stress sometimes become part of our daily life. There is a connection between our thinking to our feelings that is very easy to understand and take charge of so that we can create healthy change in or lives. These patterns can often be tracked from the modeling in our family of origin or even possibly a physical imbalance. Coping skills go a long way in creating balance and peace in our lives, but we often need to slow things down to get some understanding of how we are processing information and expectations in our lives and relationships.

I provide practical tools to regain control over overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Through cognitive-behavioral techniques and dialectal behavior therapy, clients can learn to identify triggers, challenge negative patterns, and cultivate a sense of calm. I collaborate with clients to develop personalized strategies that empower them to navigate anxiety-inducing situations, ultimately fostering greater resilience and emotional well-being.

Therapist will work with client to explore and identify the root issues that are fueling issues related to stress and anxiety. Therapist and client will create a new and healthy daily routine that promotes balance and emphasizes joy. This new routine will consist of self care practices, engagement with hobbies, social interaction, and incorporating a rage of coping mechanisms.

Lake Austin Psychotherapy offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorder as well as EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing) to accelerate symptom relief from anxiety, stress and panic disorder. Somatic Experiencing is also incorporated to promote mind-body connections and autonomic regulation for heightened nervous system response.

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 panic are some of the most uncomfortable emotions people experience. The key to ridding yourself of fear is to face it. Worrying about a problem is NOT the same as facing the problem. By shining light on the hidden fear, you will immediately diminish its power. Then, through examining your strengths, developing skills and coping mechanisms, and by practicing courage you will quickly turn your anxiety into confidence and power. The situations and people you used to dread will quickly become manageable and possibly even exhilarating.

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.
