Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Heath, TX.

We have all experienced anxiety and stress at certain points in our lives, and some of us much more than others. I will help you navigate and better understand the source of your anxiety and/or stress, which often times lies beneath the surface, and will help you in finding effective and healthy coping skills that help you deal with the stressors in your life, as well as collaborate on ways to reduce to stressors, when and if possible.

Clients presenting for relief from anxiety and stress may achieve their goals via cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT. Lowering anxiety often entails replacing irrational thinking and feeling with better thoughts and beneficial feelings- and consequently, different behaviors become possible that are beneficial for change. Clients can achieve mental discipline and more control over their feelings than they typically believe is possible when they first come in for counseling. Emotional intelligence is a goal that can be achieved by understanding what self differentiation means and how it is a valuable part of the family systems theory approach that I use with clients.

Do people ever say to you, “Just calm down”, “Get a grip on yourself”, “You’re stressing me out!” Well, it probably means you really are stressing out too much! Stress is a normal part of life. But when stress is prolonged it can have negative affects, such as headaches, an upset stomach, heart problems and high blood pressure, or even depression or anxiety. If you are overwhelmed with stress, it’s important to know stress CAN be managed. We can help you develop coping skills and create a healthy routine and balanced lifestyle that lessen the affects of stress. We will also help you to think about life differently and keep things in perspective, so that you worry less and live more.

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.

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.

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.

A certain amount of Anxiety and Stress are normal in life. But when life gets too big, we sometimes lose the ability to deal with them effectively and need help. There are many ways that counseling can help bring relief (some of it immediately!) in these areas. Some people find relaxation tools are helpful in day to day approaches but we also need to be able to tap into other tools when that is not enough. With an expanded tool kit, we have more options, more tools, to deal with stress and anxiety where we do not have to live in their relentless shadow.

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 is future! A futuristic threat. Your mind will race, often trying to determine the threat, making irrational thoughts feel rational, as if a certain scenario could actually happen or play out. Using either EMDR or CBT I will help you grab a hold of your thoughts and reframe them with facts.

The goal of therapy is to stop the behaviors that have had devastating effects on you and those around you and to create more of what you do want in your life; healthy relationships, meaningful time with family and friends, increased productivity at work, feeling comfortable in your own skin, and sustained peace of mind. We help provide a safe environment without judgement to allow healing to begin.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they dont treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people dont 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.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming and there is often a tendency to avoid situations that a person feels will cause further or increased anxiety. Interestingly, when a person is able to address or move toward what causes them anxiety, they move toward the answer to the feelings or sensations they are experiencing. The answers lie in approaching what cause us anxiety rather than avoiding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy gently assists a person in learning to approach what causes anxiety and find the answers to overcome the feelings of being overwhelmed.
