Seven Vistas - Professional Life Coach and Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist, PCC, RPC-C, NLP Master Practitioner
I grew up experiencing full flight response level anxiety and panic attacks. I get what it feels like to want to, no, have to, run out the door and have no clue why, just overwhelming fear rising. How can we possibly figure out what this is and why it comes? We go through a series of sessions learning to slow it down, find our awareness in a supportive environment that can help us see and hear. Through exploration we find awareness and tools toward managing this terrifying mystery.

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Anxiety can be debilitating and disruptive leaving an individual feeling confused, vulnerable, and frustrated. Although experiencing a certain level anxiety is natural and an adaptive response in our nervous system to keep us safe, it becomes maladaptive when in overdrive. Understanding the neurobiology behind anxiety and the events that trigger it is critical to treatment. Therapy includes a deep exploration of how anxiety developed, how it is keeping you safe, and coping strategies that may be useful to manage high levels of anxiety. Psychoeducation on the neurobiology behind the stress response provides a deep understanding of how stress impacts the nervous system. In our sessions, I will support you in exploring your thoughts, emotions such as fear, sadness, and anger as well as triggers that lead to heightened levels of anxiety. Exploring earlier experiences and trauma that may have led to the development of negative beliefs and may be fueling negative automatic thoughts can help determine the root cause of anxiety to break dysfunctional thinking patterns. When dealing with anxiety, improving one’s self-concept and self efficacy can be an empowering and liberating process.

The modern world tells us that it is bad to feel fearful or anxious. "Be happy" is the message we have been given from childhood through school, through our family, through TV and social media, as if happiness is the default and all other emotions are dysfunctional. This is not true. Happiness is important, but living life with only happiness is like eating a diet of only sugar, or listening to a song that is only bass. We need the lows to give meaning to the highs.
Through therapy, I will help you better understand your fear and anxiety without shaming or stigmatizing it. Once we understand the role your fear and anxiety plays in your life, we will find ways to make it work for you. And once you are able to accept your emotions without needing to avoid them, your happiness will feel more meaningful.
"Happiness cannot be pursued, it can only ensue. One must have a reason to be happy... Doing so would be the same as urging people posed in front of a camera to say “cheese,” only to find that in the finished photographs their faces are frozen in artificial smiles." Victor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
