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.

Psychologist, MAPS, B Psych ECowan, GradDipCounselMurdoch,
I recognize that anxiety can be triggered in a range of settings and will often look at the ABC's - Antecedents (or circumstances leading to the anxiety), the Behavior itself (how does the anxiety show up,) and the Consequences (e.g. avoiding situations) to seek to assist the client.

We know that Automatic Negative Thoughts (or ANTs) can distort our thinking, leading us to believe we are in danger or at risk. Our psychologists at Hargan Psychology will work with you to identify any unhelpful thinking styles and support you to overcome the debilitating impact of anxiety and fear.

Basten and Associates
Psychologist, Masters in Clinical Psychology, Ph.D.
We have psychologists skilled in treating panic attacks, social anxiety, worry and health anxiety. We 'get' anxiety and we can help you. Depending on the results of our assessment, we will use cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and/or acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-bawed approaches to treat most anxiety conditions. Therapy can be tough at times but we have developed some ways to make the process of treating anxiety easier to engage with.
