Anxiety& Trauma

Anxiety doesn’t need to be the boss of you ….

 

You need to calm down, easy for Taylor Swift to say. You’ve tried many times but your mind races with “what ifs”, your body is exhausted and jittery and you find yourself avoiding many of life’s experiences because of worry. Past or even current experiences (I see you COVID-19!) and traumas may have built these paths in your brain to help you cope and they got you here to this moment. I’m so glad they did. But now, anxiety is running too much of your life and you are ready to break out of this pattern, feel calm and confident, find relief.

 

Therapy for anxiety can help you to:

 

• “Name it to Tame it” as Dr. Dan Siegel says – understand what your body and brain are doing, awareness and understanding are the first steps

• Learn proven strategies to experience calm in your mind and body, shift away from the “what ifs” and create new paths in your brain that bring relief

• Process old hurts and traumas that may have contributed to your body being “on alert” and shift beliefs that no longer serve you
