Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Bedford, VA.

Stress can be a very normal physiological mechanism and can be a signal that change is needed. Without this change, we become more stressed with resulting increased anxiety about life. We are able to counsel the client to gain perspective and consider the purpose of their anxiety and stress, converting the confusion into a positive mindset towards a new outlook and confidence that will lead to a healthy and peaceful spirit and disposition. 951-581-4200

Couples interact in 1 of 3 ways to anxiety and stress. (1) They turn toward each other. (2) They turn against each other. (3) They turn away from each other. The latter two responses cause or compound existing stress and anxiety. Instead finding support from the other, a bad situation is made worse when a couples are not there for each other. I help spouse's reduce their stress and anxiety by assisting them to turn toward each other and find relief and gain the knowledge that whatever one is facing, he or she is not facing it alone.

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.

There are at least four components to reducing anxiety. The first is to learn self-soothing techniques. the second is to become aware of the thoughts and images which are making you anxious and to deliberately choose other thoughts and images. The third is to discover and face what you are most afraid of. Sometimes, when there has been trauma, this fear is something that has already happened and from which you have not recovered. Often it is something out of your control, a fact of life, like death! We need to make peace with these, accept their reality and make the best of what we have. I have some excellent tools from hypnosis and a field of study called NLP to speed your progress.

Stress is the number one cause of emotional disturbance for the average American. While most people have an innate ability to regulate stress and anxiety, all individuals can experience times in their life when their ability to cope is compromised and anxiety begins to take control of their daily functioning.
