Anxiety
Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
Anxiety is helped by taking care of a few basics. We can give careful attention to what is in our thoughts -- are they catastrophic, hopeless, or distorted in other ways, making us anxious? Noticing our thoughts, and editing our thought-stream to become more realistic can bring us back to the present moment, and more ease. The second basic is to make sure that we are breathing more like babies, from the abdomen, and less like desperate people running away from tigers. Fight or flight breathing makes us anxious, and anxiety makes us breathe like desperate people. More realistic thoughts and better breathing are very helpful for anxiety.

Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Whole wellness therapy has a huge focus on what being human means. Anxiety and fear are a beautiful part of our emotional ecosystem that help protect us from harm. However, there are several times our mind and body can trick us into believing we are in danger of harm, when we may be perfectly safe. We call this "being stuck in survival mode." We are not meant to stay stuck in this mode. It is not a suitable place to regulate our emotions. Our therapists have had expert level training in implimenting coping mechanisms to help get us out of this mode, and even more importantly, finding out how we got in that mode in the first place. It's essential to find the root of the fear, in order to face it and conquor it, or we will only come to fear our own mind and our own body.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
While Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) is highly effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders (e.g., Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), clinicians do see some “return of fear,” or partial relapse, in some patients due to a variety of factors. Over the past two decades, treatment researchers, with whom Dr. Jayson Mystkowski had the pleasure of working with at UCLA for over 10 years, have studied “return of fear” and discovered some key variables that may optimize the effects of learning during CBT for anxiety disorders (Craske et al., 2008).
First, evidence suggests that focusing on tolerating fear versus eliminating fear yields better clinical outcomes in the long term. Namely, teaching clients that fear and anxiety are normal feelings, rather than attempting to “down-regulate” such feelings all the time, is more realistic and seems to engender “hardier” clients. Second, helping clients to generate an expectancy that “scary things will not happen,” is very powerful. To do this, it is important for clinicians to create more complex exposure exercises (i.e., tasks in which a client confronts a stimulus of which they are afraid), using multiple feared stimuli instead of one at a time. Then, the lack of a feared outcome becomes particularly surprising and memorable for a client and fear reduction is more potent. Third, increasing the accessibility and retrievability of non-fear memories learned during treatment are powerful factors in mitigating against a return of fear. Craske and colleagues demonstrated that exposure to variations of a feared stimulus, using a random schedule across multiple contexts or situations, is more effective than exposure to the same stimulus, on a predictable schedule, in an unchanging environment. The former paradigm, it is argued, creates stronger non-fear memories that are easier for a client to access when subsequently confronting feared objects or situations outside of the therapy context, than the later scenario.
In sum, clinicians have long been aware that some fear or anxiety returns following very successful CBT treatment. As mentioned above, there are some clear, empirically supported ways to modify the therapy we provide to further help clients generalize the gains made in therapy sessions to the real world.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Anxiety can feel exhausting, especially when it begins to affect your relationships, confidence, and sense of emotional security. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, worrying about how others feel about you, seeking reassurance, struggling with trust, fearing rejection, feeling overwhelmed by conflict, or pulling away when vulnerability feels uncomfortable. While these patterns can be frustrating, they often make sense in the context of past experiences and the ways you've learned to protect yourself. I help clients understand the deeper roots of their anxiety, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier, more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.

John Jakubowski

Most people don't know that anxiety is actually healthy. It's a natural response in order to keep our bodies alert and functional. It's when it becomes chronic and affects our lifestyle that it needs to be addressed and reshaped. There are tons of tools to bring this back in-line. Let's figure it out and get you grounded.
