The Mindful Life with Lori Kahn
Life Coach, Certified Integrative Coach, Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, Certified Neurofeedback
Working with Anxiety or Fear with mindfulness tools and techniques allows us to experience the "feeling"s without making meaning and identifying with those feelings as "who we are" rather than what we feel. Often when we begin to notice the feelings, allow them to be there without judgment but with curiosity and observation we can see how impermanent they are and they begin to be manageable.

“If you trade your authenticity for safety, you may experience the following: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, rage, blame, resentment and inexplicable grief.” – Brené Brown
I would never question Brené Brown or edit any of her quotes – she rocks. But, I would add workaholism and the relentless pursuit of success to her list of things you experience when you’re not authentic. Talking to individuals in both my online therapy practice and personal life has shown me that when someone is not thriving in their authentic life, they overcompensate by focusing on work, achievement, and success. They do this to balance out their internal fear of being known as exactly who they are at the core. This leads to anxiety and feeling like you’re never good enough. Your anxiety is crushing and makes you feel miserable no matter how much success you achieve. So, how is being an overachiever a bad thing? I know some of you are thinking, “well if treat my anxiety, I may not be as successful, because my anxiety fuels my productivity.” Okay, but my question would be “at what cost?” Being an overachiever is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because you can be a rockstar, accomplish your (probably unrealistic) goals and obtain the accolades that make you feel good about yourself. Your internal motivation has gotten you where you are. The fire, the energy, the drive, the discipline, the consistency are amazing qualities that have propelled you through life, work, hobbies, passions, and many obstacles and challenges. Perfection is always in sight. But, as we all know, it’s rarely achievable. Aside from the fact that perfection is rare in general, the mindset of an overachiever is often stuck on “not good enough”. There’s always something missing. There’s always something more to be done, more to pursue and go after. I don’t want to keep you from being successful. My ultimate goal is to help you be your authentic self and live a life you love. I totally understand that working on your anxiety may not interest you, especially if you feel like it makes you be productive. But, let me assure you, you can be productive without being anxious. You do not have to live with the discomfort that anxiety breeds. Online therapy can help. In my practice, I specialize in working with adults just like you. I will work with you to identify the values that are most important to you. Perhaps this is being successful, well-liked, and respected. But, maybe there are other things that bring you joy. I will help you look at all aspects of your life and get to know the person you are at your core. Then, we will discuss how your behaviors prevent you from living an authentic life and we will discuss ways you can change them to be more aligned with the person you truly want to be. This will allow you to get back to living a happier more well-rounded lifestyle.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
Generalized Anxiety Disorder includes anxiety attacks and panic attacks. Both responses by the mind/brain/mind initiate the body's HPA axis sending stress hormones cascading through the body. My treatment involves the use of supplements (unique to each patient) and not drugs, talk therapy, mediation, and the development of healing flow activities. The goal is to lessen the impact of the sympathetic nervous system and to bring the parasympathetic nervous online to calm a person's mind/brain/body.
