Everybody experiences anxiety or worry occasionally. Anxiety is a typical human response to demanding circumstances. However, those anxieties and fears remain persistent for those who suffer from anxiety disorders. They continue to experience anxiety, which may possibly worsen with time.
Anxiety disorders can seriously hinder a person's performance in social, academic, and occupational settings. Anxiety may also affect a person's relationships with friends and family. Thankfully, there are efficient anxiety treatments available.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Polyvagal theory offers a fascinating lens through which to understand anxiety and its physiological underpinnings. According to this theory, our nervous system responds to stress and threat in three distinct ways: fight-or-flight, freeze, and the social engagement system. Anxiety often arises when our nervous system becomes dysregulated, leading to an overactivation of the fight-or-flight response or a shutdown into freeze mode. By exploring polyvagal theory in therapy, clients can gain insight into how their body responds to stress and learn techniques to regulate their nervous system. I also use EMDR therapy as a promising approach for alleviating anxiety, offering a unique avenue for processing distressing experiences and reducing associated symptoms. Through this process, individuals can experience a shift in how they perceive and respond to anxiety-provoking situations, fostering a sense of empowerment and control. Exposure therapy is another powerful tool in the arsenal against anxiety, offering a structured approach to facing fears and breaking free from their grip. Through gradual and systematic exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli, clients can learn to confront their fears in a safe and controlled environment.

There is no shame in any feeling or thought. You are not your diagnosis. When you learn that it's OK to express deep emotions and thoughts, you get yourself back. Make your own realizations, which empowers you. Non-judgmental: embracing all lifestyles, beliefs, faiths, and sexual orientations.
