Anxiety or Fears
Karen Seinor
Counsellor/Therapist, MACA
Stress doesn’t just happen instantaneously, it is a series of events, reactions and actions, which all build on each other. Sometimes I talk to clients about a truck travelling on the highway. As the journey starts there is nothing much in the trailer, but as the journey continues, the trucker picks up various loads until the vehicle is just about carrying its maximum load and it can continue on the highway for a long time like this – travelling along with a heavy load but within the legal limit. What happens next is usually just a minor addition to the load – something tiny that in and of itself is irrelevant but is just enough to tip the scale so that the vehicle is now travelling over the recommended tonnage. Once overloaded, there is more pressure on the tyres, the truck can pick up too much speed going downhill – there are various systems that don’t work as quickly easily or effectively as they would under ‘normal’ circumstances. And this is pretty much what can happen to us. So although there can be a very major or significant event that creates a big stress load, most times, stress builds up over time.
When working with clients, and in my own self work, I have found it makes change much easier to achieve, with smaller steps.

The anxiety and fear-like symptoms you experience are neurobiological symptoms. Your amygdala - the part of the brain that registers and records emotional responses, is sending you false brain messages. In this case, it's sending the message of 'threat' and 'danger'. Once, often out-of-the-blue, you felt your heart racing, your palms sweating and your tummy churning. You FELT...terrified. Maybe that first experience was on a freeway, in an elevator (lift), on a suburban train. The next time you had to face that 'event' (get back into that lift/elevator), your amygdala sent adrenaline surging through your body to GET OUTTA THERE. That's your brain getting things wrong. We can and will re-write that message.

Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
We are all burdened by anxieties and fears at some point in our lives, but when these get entrenched and we feel 'stuck' in these, it is helpful to consider gentle online therapy.

Anxiety and phobias can be debilitating. While CBT and mindfulness can be helpful, they are not the only treatment for anxiety. I tailor my approach to your needs, whether this is general support or more structured therapies.
