Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Lake Tapps, WA.

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. Contact Kevin@kevinfleminphd.com for the ultimate stress and anxiety solution that will literally change your brain's autonomic nervous system patterns while you sit on your butt. 877-606-6161.

Anxiety and stress are real problems that keep too many from living healthy, balanced lives. Whether it’s sleepless nights or full-blown panic attacks, we will explore the issues together and determine the best course of action. Current stressors such as relationship difficulties and traumatic events can cause anxiety, however, the cause can also be rooted in the past without your awareness of it. Often the help of a trained therapist can make the difference in finding and healing the source.

It can be really hard to talk about anxiety. You're reading the words of someone who suffered with severe anxiety from before the age of five. While depression largely looks backwards, and lacks a plan, anxiety looks forward and invents a future that almost never comes to pass. But, anxiety holds a little known secret that, once revealed, is a game-changer for anxiety sufferers! Too many people struggle needlessly with anxiety every day. It can be difficult to imagine life without it. It can feel like there's no hope. Fear and hope are powerful emotions! Be encouraged to take just a small step and reach out to someone who knows the steps to cultivate hope and build motivation to overcome!

Lifespan Integration Therapy is highly effective in overcoming Anxiety, OCD, and other related mental and emotional challenges and disorders. Lifespan Integration Therapy is short-term, relatively easy, and the client is NOT required to relive anxious thoughts, fear-based obsessions, or even talk about their behavioral anxieties or compulsions. Lifespan Integration repairs mental processes, greatly improves focus, allows for joy and peace internally, and "clears" clients' past pain and unhealthy patterns. Clients report far more internal freedom, more hope for the future, and far less daily stress or anxiety.

The treatment of anxiety and stress first begins with the management of the symptoms bringing you in for treatment. Without having these symptoms under control, it is difficult for individuals to begin to examine the reasons behind the anxiety without provoking more anxiety. Once these symptoms are addressed, we will start to examine the life situations you are in and the relationships, stories, family roles and events that may be the roots of the stress and subsequent anxiety. With some time, consistency, openness and commitment to the process, individuals will find anxiety more manageable and the enjoyment of every day returned.

We look together at the areas of your life that are causing you stress and anxiety. For most people, this is a huge aspect of living.

We will examine your work, your family life, your relationships, your ability to function day to day, and the kinds of things you already do to cope with anxiety and stress. Developing strategies to deal more effectively with anxiety and stress is a major goal in counseling.

Anxiety and stress take a hold on you and never let go, leaving you trapped and frozen. I help my clients to learn all about the magic of mindfulness practice. It's one of the most effective ways to put you in control of your emotions, rather than them controlling you. Imagine how great it would be to have an internal place of peace and serenity that you can use at any time to relax and become grounded. Mindfulness is an ancient practice that is also supported by scientific empirical studies. It's one of the best ways to change your life.

All of us go through difficult times, however some times some us go through more than our fair share of difficulties.

We always move at your pace and focus on your goals. I will hear your concerns and together we will tackle what is important to you.

Stress can manifest itself in different ways, many of which are harmful to your mind and body. Stress increases blood pressure, causes sleeplessness, and can reduce your ability to function in daily life. If you’re experiencing unmanageable anxiety and stress, it’s important to seek help. Counseling can help you identify your stressors, while offering healthy ways to cope. I’ve helped people like you who suffer from anxiety and stress by providing them with a safe place to unload their troubles while finding practical solutions. If your anxieties become overwhelming, let me help carry some of that load. It’s helpful to talk with someone who stands outside of your situation.

By working collaboratively with a skilled therapist, you can better understand the underlying causes and triggers of your anxiety and stress.

Our therapists will also help develop valuable skills for long-term self-care, resilience, and a more balanced approach to handling life's challenges, enabling you to regain control, find inner calm, and thrive daily.

Anxiety and stress are so common they seem like an unavoidable part of the modern lifestyle. However excessive anxiety, stress, and worry can start to destroy your peace of mind, lessen your confidence, and impact your physical health. I provide a therapy process where the pattern of how anxiety is created in your life is understood and new tools to stop the physical and emotional patterns of anxiety are made habitual. The end result is having your peace of mind back so you can focus on the things that matter most to you.
