Anxiety or Fears
John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, mARCHTI
FEAR! The strongest of ALL emotions. Paradoxically it's been fundamental to our evolutionary success: fleeing predators, particularly. It's kept us alive for the 200,000 years of our existence as humans. We're not all that strong, don't have claws and fangs --but we can run long distances! And it matters not one bit that our fear of that growl in the undergrowth may be unfounded. We can get that wrong 1000 times and if we flee we survive as a consequence.
Just as your smoke alarm has one volume (LOUD!) it's natural to be fearful of what we perceive may harm us. We often overestimate the size and proximity of threats and conversely underestimate our ability to cope. Fear is powerful and can often interfere with logic and reason. That's why we need to respect fear and reassess our relationship to it. And courage is not the absence of fear; mindset is everything and mindset can be developed to ensure we have optimal strategies for the stresses and adversities that regularly afflict us.

Jimi Katsis
Counsellor/Therapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Experiencing anxiety or fear is fairly common for most of us. Feeling anxious before a test or exam, meeting new people or talking in public are examples. When anxiety starts to impact your daily life to the extent that the feelings are so overpowering that they stop you from doing what you want, its time to look deeper into what is causing it and how it can be minimised. For some of us it is relatively simple to find the root cause of what is making you feel anxious, for others it may take some digging. The important thing to realise is that through therapy you can regain control and get your life back to. Get in touch now for a free consult to see how i could help.
