Anxiety or Fears
Sharon Roth
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.
