ANXIETY Treatment
More than any other mental health symptom, most of us can identify with Anxiety. It’s part of our human condition and is something we have all felt at some time in life. It comes from many different potential sources and a professional evaluation is a great way to increase your ability to master anxieties symptoms.
I find myself engaged and focused when providing anxiety treatment for individuals who’s primary process is anxiety driven. I am trained in definitive treatment and interventions and the ability to access and challenge the symptoms. Granted there are no guarantee’s as to how long this takes, so lets laugh a little that there aren’t always just one perfect fix and lets cause the intensity of anxiety to go up a little by thinking more about how I help people who feel overwhelmed find new norms.
Perhaps you might experience thoughts such as these that are part of an anxiety attack or precede a panic attack.
How come they looked at me that way?
I am so fearful of what they think of me…
If I don’t get it just right...
I don’t know what is going to happen...
I am afraid of … ?
My heart is beating so fast.
I can’t catch my breath.
I am so…
What if it happens again!
I don’t like it when…
Asking the what if questions and worrying about whether or not your parents or children have been in an accident in the last five minutes, the meaning of my rapid thoughts, and what if God won’t let me into heaven are well known things that people with anxiety, panic attacks or social anxiety deal with daily.
The cause of your anxiety could have a part in why it exists, or have a totally different source than you may have thought. Frequently sources of anxiety are found within my office setting to be an energy that exhibits itself due to multiple causes or sources of energy being present. Having worked with many people who grapple with anxiety symptoms, anxiety attacks, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, and are on anxiety medications my experience assists me to help you conclude and discover new ways of thinking and behaving that may alleviate and find relief.
Deeper forms of anxiety may need medication assistance since anxiety is so unnerving and demanding at times and interferes with daily function. I am do make referral’s for medication management of anxiety sometimes as it may be good to utilize medication for a time. Anxiety decreases energy and interferes with daily function because it negates our ability to cope. Medication allows the individual to process or function instead of being frozen. I also respect and work with people who choose to reduce or not use medication as there are also effective behavioral ways of helping. Medication or behavioral intervention has the potential to cause one to be temporarily free of symptoms creating increased focus and creating a healthier process while in therapy, so one might learn how to manage it outside of the therapeutic environment. Therapy helps mentally exercising new behavior and thought to establish new wiring or pathways.
So no matter what the cause or symptoms of the anxiety I am confident I can assist you in your need. While anxiety tends to be an indicator of deeper concerns, my goal is to reach those depths and move with you through your emotional pain. When connecting further underneath the surface with a skilled treatment outpatient clinician such as myself, it is not infrequent that other concerns pop up, but don’t be overly concerned too much, as I know how create safety in the process. Come and create a place of safety and trust with me so we can change your circumstances.
