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.

Are you avoiding situations due to anxiety? Is it stopping you from living a full life?
Anxiety attacks can produce an unpleasant cocktail of symptoms; sweating palms, nausea, palpatations, hyperventilation and feelings of paranoia. As anxiety is usually triggered by specific circumstances, many people find themselves avoiding those situations where they may experience anxiety, this in itself can exacerbate the problem, especially if those situations involve work, travel or socialising. With cutting edge psychological tools anxiety can be a thing of the past in between 1 and 4 sessions.

Anxiety and fear are closely related to external events: they are also wired into our nervous systems, just underneath the surface of what's actually happening. I take a body-based as well as a mental and emotional approach to working with anxiety, whether online or in person, informed by somatic experiencing and Polyvagal Theory. We can also explore the links between anxiety and sleep difficulties.

Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
Who does not know fear? It is another core emotion - part of the very fabric of our inner lives. In good-enough development we develop a range of coping mechanisms that support us in managing fear and worry when they arise. In some cases, however, we struggle and we become too overwhelmed. In our desire to get rid of what might feel like an excessive, unbearable emotion, we start doing things that might hinder our lives (e.g. relying on substances to self-regulate; self-isolating; or trying to control ourselves and what surrounds us in excessive ways).
