Managing Anxiety
The Dual Impact of Anxiety
Anxiety is a pervasive experience that can deeply affect both your nervous system and your thought processes. It often manifests with physical symptoms such as a racing heart, sweating, and trembling, as well as mental symptoms like persistent worry and intrusive thoughts.
My Approach to Treatment
To address the multifaceted nature of anxiety, I utilize a combination of somatic-based and cognitive-based therapies. This integrated treatment approach is designed to:
- Soothe the Nervous System: Somatic therapies help regulate your body’s response to anxiety, reducing physical symptoms and restoring a sense of calm.
- Reframe Cognitive Patterns: Cognitive-based therapies focus on identifying and altering distressing thoughts that fuel anxiety, helping you to gain perspective and reduce the intensity of anxious feelings.
Empowering You to Regain Control
The goal of therapy is to empower you with effective strategies to manage and alleviate the symptoms of anxiety. By learning to control your physiological responses and reshape your thought patterns, you can achieve a greater sense of control and improve your overall well-being.
