The anxiety and fear-like symptoms you experience are neurobiological symptoms. Your amygdala - the part of the brain that registers and records emotional responses, is sending you false brain messages. In this case, it's sending the message of 'threat' and 'danger'. Once, often out-of-the-blue, you felt your heart racing, your palms sweating and your tummy churning. You FELT...terrified. Maybe that first experience was on a freeway, in an elevator (lift), on a suburban train. The next time you had to face that 'event' (get back into that lift/elevator), your amygdala sent adrenaline surging through your body to GET OUTTA THERE. That's your brain getting things wrong. We can and will re-write that message.

When thinking about treatment options lets take a triage approach like a medic might when faced with a medical problem. That is to say start with physical causes and supports, moving then to chemical and then on to emotional and social factors. It is possible to manage stress & anxiety.

Ruth Schmidt Neven Phd
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
A psychodynamic approach goes beyond the symptom and tries to understand how and why anxiety and fears have become dominant in a person's life. They may be an expression of deeper feelings of anger or disappointment that cannot be expressed and are best understood in relation to early childhood and personal history.

Addressing anxiety and fears involves a comprehensive approach encompassing the mind and body, unravelling behaviours and coping strategies and looking deep within so that we’re not just managing the symptoms we’re discovering and addressing the root cause. I do this by utilising a ‘bottom-up’ somatic approach to therapy which means there is an integration of the cognitive (mind) with emotions and sensations within the body (somatic). This awareness (beyond the spiralling, often confusion of the mind) gives access to a world of information to help resolve trauma, anxiety, addiction, emotional overwhelm, dissociation, impulsivity, emotion regulation and an inability to relax and be present.
