Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Mechanicsville, VA.

Anxiety is right down at the bottom of the pit of our human experience. The quivery, edgy, dread-filled feeling is bad enough.

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.

When we can't control our thoughts, they can swirl around our head like a tornado. Sometimes it is so bad we feel light headed, our heart feels like it will beat right out of our chest, and we struggle to breathe. Even worse, we may begin to have panic attacks and now we are worried about when they will happen again. Anxiety, stress, and excessive worry can be difficult to stop if we don't have a strategy or plan. Cognitive therapy helps clients learn to understand how their own thoughts contribute to the symptoms of anxiety, and how to change those thought patterns to reduce the likelihood of occurrence and the intensity of the reaction. Let's work together.

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.
