Anxiety Treatment

 

Yes, anxiety is in the mind, experienced through our emotions, and felt in our body. Anxiety is often expressed through our body as bound-up energy. It leaves you feeling irritated or edgy and can also be accompanied by physical symptoms such as panic attacks, stomachaches, back pain, and headaches. When you begin to listen to your body, you can facilitate the integration of the mind/body connection.

 

 

As your mental health professional, I maintain a nonjudgmental, safe, and validating environment in our sessions so you can feel as comfortable as possible throughout the healing process. Together, we will explore them so we can understand what triggers your anxiety symptoms as well as how emotions and thought patterns may exacerbate your symptoms. I will deeply listen to what thoughts arise, what emotions you feel, and what physical sensations you experience when you feel anxious. As I listen, you will understand your internal process more. Through this experience, you can feel resilient when anxiety arises in the future. You will be able to feel it, identify it, and work with this energy before it becomes overwhelming.

 

 

You will not need to take any medication unless you are interested in seeing whether an anti-anxiety medication could be helpful. If this is something you’d like to explore, I can refer you to a qualified psychiatrist to discuss your options. However, my anxiety treatment options can teach you many highly effective, holistic approaches to feel calmer and less overwhelmed.
