Rachel W. Bush, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist, Trauma Informed Yoga Instructor with 500 Hour Training, International bestselling author on Self-love and Creativity
Anxiety or fears are well treated with CBT with exposure experiences. I also find that journaling and neurographic art can be helpful for patients to turn on their Parasympathetic Nervous System and be able to get in a relaxed state of rest and digest. Restorative yoga, meditation and regular exercise can be very therapeutic.f

Do you feel stuck, stressed or unfulfilled in your life? Does constant worry, too many tasks to juggle or troubled relationships leave you wondering how you will be able to make it through the next day? Whatever change it is that you are facing, it is natural to feel an element of uncertainty and anxiety over your new situation. The good news is that you don’t have to navigate this challenging time on your own. Anxiety treatment can help you find relief and achieve the personal growth and development you need to feel confident, happy, and healthy again.

You are everyone's go to person. High achievement and performance in all that you do is a MUST. Picking up slack and getting the job done at all costs is just what you do. Others praise you for your incredible drive and work ethic, you never miss a beat. Whether it’s in your relationship, at work, or in your family, you are the one that takes on the majority of the responsibility.
On The Inside:
This is a very different story. Running on fumes is how you’re getting by. Pulled in so many different directions, you don’t have much left to give, but you’ll sacrifice something to make it happen. Driving this is a low self-confidence. You don’t drop the ball because you’re so afraid of letting people down that you will avoid that at all costs. Sleepless nights are many, and you’re on edge. Oh, and if anyone needs advice on how to deal with a headache, they come to you because you get a lot of them. This internal experience is exhausting. It’s exhausting to the point where you don’t feel like getting out of bed. Pulling the covers over your head and hiding from the world seems like heavenly bliss. You’re just so tired and things just look bleak.
When we experience adversity, these experiences can become imprinted in our minds. I don’t mean that figuratively at all. These experiences form neuropathways which dictate our response to other stressful situations as we continue on with our lives. When are nervous systems are continually in a stress response, we produce harmful hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. Overtime, high levels of cortisol and adrenaline deplete our serotonin leaving us feeling anxious and/or depressed.
There is some good news here. Since anxiety and depression are some of the most common and well understood mental health issues, there are many ways to address them. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address them. Through these methods you will develop tools to confront and change your negative thoughts and learn better ways to regulate emotions. If you choose to use EMDR, we can often identify the root cause of these issues. You’ll reprocess these experiences to a point where you feel a sense of calm or peace when they are recalled.
