Anxiety
Anxiety as an emotion is designed to help us understand that there is something in our world which requires our response by taking action. While our society typically identifies anxiety as an emotion to avoid or suppress, I help my clients learn to welcome anxiety and learn effective ways to respond to and resolve this vital emotion.
Learning How To Resolve Anxiety
Anxiety always requires us to take action. However, learning what action to take in order to resolve anxiety is the key to regulating this emotion in an effective manner. Once we learn how to do this regularly, we will feel confident and empowered in the face of anxiety.
How I Approach Treatment
My goal in working with anxiety is not simply symptom reduction, but helping someone understand what their anxiety is trying to tell them. Once my clients learn effective emotional regulation and gain experience in resolving anxiety, they build a new relationship with this emotion and instead of feeling threatened or scared, they feel calm, reassured, and ready for the next anxious life event.
If you or someone you know is struggling with anxiety, feel free to contact me to learn how to effectively regulate this emotion.
