Having anxiety is a normal part of everyday life. There are pressures, stress, and worry that we all endure on a regular basis. It is when the physiological symptoms of anxiety become so prevalent that it effects our day profoundly and causes some degree of impairment. Avoidance is a primary feature of anxiety disorders. The intent is to avoid the external triggers that seem to cause the heightened physiological response. Anxiety can make a person limit activities in their life for fear of experiencing the symptoms that make them feel out of control. My recently released book, 4AnXiety: 4goals, 4weeks, 4daily steps, is a structured workbook to help you identify your cognitive, physiological, and behavioral symptoms that keep your anxiety looping. There are practical strategies and information to help break the anxiety loop and feel more confident to manage your symptoms. The workbook can used as a self help journal but would be most effective working in a group or in individual therapy for maximum benefits.
In person individual therapy and group treatment are available as well. I use an integrative treatment approaches of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Relaxation Exercises, Polyvagal Theory and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. If there are symptoms and distress coming from an origin of traumatic events and memories, we can utilize EMDR and ART to reduce the emotional and physical charge caused by traumatic life events.
