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.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT ) is an evidence-based treatment model. From an ACT perspective, struggling and pain are part of the human experience. The essential components of ACT include stop struggling with unwanted thoughts and feelings, being mindfully aware of the present moment, and committing to a course of action that is consistent with what matters to you in life. ACT helps you stop fighting and/or avoiding your anxiety, develop a new relationship with your thoughts and feelings, and live the life you desire.

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.

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.

While anxiety and stress are very common, it does not make them any the less debilitating to your life. Our brain's natural built in resources meant to protect us often end up back firing in times where the amount of stress and anxiety is simply not needed, however turning this process off can be difficult to do without the support of trained counselor by your side. Through learning tools, techniques, and lifestyle changes to manage and re train our responses, it is fully possible to reduce anxiety levels and the stress that comes along. Anxiety and Panic Attacks can really prevent you from living life to its fullest and I am eager to meet you where you are at to kickstart your healing.

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.
