Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Cedar Hills, UT.

Like depression, anxiety can be a result of a number of factors. A situation out of our control or comfort zone is, by nature, anxiety producing. Some people are genetically more anxious than others. Sometimes people have suffered from destructive relationships. Our approach is to listen and determine the source of the anxiety, provide coping skills, education, or psychotherapy to reduce anxiety and increase the capacity for a person to function in their everyday lives.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) helps clients build skills that will translate to everyday life in a safe environment. Some of the skills that are worked on during sessions with horses may include coping mechanisms for anxiety and fear, learning how to communicate, assertiveness, and others. Working with the horses also helps clients learn techniques to reduce stress.

Anxiety is really a clinical term for a four-letter word: fear. When we say someone is feeling "stressed out," that is a degree of anxiety also. From a mental health perspective, when our fear or stress becomes maladaptive or impairs our ability to function, we call it anxiety. Anxiety is not merely genetic or the result of a "chemical imbalance." Rather, anxiety develops from scary experiences which we have not come to terms with. Anxiety disorders can be overcome through careful assessment, identification of root causes, and then, with appropriate guidance, gentle confrontation of these root causes. David has been successfully helping people with anxiety for over 15 years.

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.
