“We cannot start over, but we can begin now, and make a new ending.” —Zig Ziglar
Counselling Sessions
Anxiety is a beast. It is such a necessary safety response for us to survive, and yet without direction and containment, it can really cause havoc in your life.
It makes you nervous to attend and be in social settings; it has you second guessing your work, and what you did or said in social settings; it even keeps you up, or wakes you up in the night replaying all of the things that might go wrong in the future. It comes through as difficulty trusting yourself, and wanting to check in with those you meet to ensure that everything is ok.
Anxiety can also come through as panic attacks – where you think you are having a heart attack, even when medically you aren’t. You feel like everything is ending, your heart is racing, you are sweaty, you have difficulty taking deep breaths, and your mind is racing… among many other symptoms.
Working with me can bring you relief from this intensity and frequency as together we will jump right into practicing quick, easy, helpful skills that will turn down the volume of your symptoms. Paired with building your knowledge of anxiety, you will be ready to tackle life again with confidence and ease.
Having worked with many individuals who have struggled with anxiety – situational to life long- you will be supported.
Anxiety
Unrealistic negative racing thoughts are not a normal part of everyday life. Neither is feeling jittery, or on edge, having difficulty breathing, having a racing heart, or having difficulties concentrating or focusing. Learning specific helpful skills can be the difference of living as you are, to living as you want to be.
