Root Causes
EMDR For Anxiety
We are all individuals and anxiety shows up differently for each of us. I take a highly individualized approach by combining different types of therapy to fit your specific needs. Here are some of the methods I use to treat anxiety:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is the gold standard for treating anxiety. CBT explains how our thoughts and beliefs affect our anxiety. Through CBT work, you will become aware of unhealthy thought patterns/beliefs, learn how to shift these perspectives and replace them with more helpful thoughts. With repetition, you can actually rewire your brain to minimize anxious thoughts.
Mindfulness is the practice of nonjudgmental awareness and acceptance of the present moment and your current experiences. Studies have shown amazing changes in how the brain responds to anxiety in people who practice mindfulness. Anxiety tends to intensify when we get caught in a power struggle of trying to control it. When we use mindfulness strategies to let go of this power struggle, the anxiety passes much more quickly.
Exposure Therapy is a type of CBT. Exposure therapy gradually (think baby steps) exposes you to your anxiety triggers. People with anxiety tend to avoid their triggers in order to cope. Unfortunately, this only reinforces the anxiety. When you face your triggers and nothing bad happens, the brain learns that the trigger is not actually a threat. Anxiety response goes away. You use the power of learning experiences to change the connections in your brain!
In addition to decreasing symptoms and learning coping skills, I help clients explore the root causes of their anxiety and work towards healing.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) uses back-and-forth eye movements to help the brain process information in a new way and allows the brain to tap into it's inherent ability to heal itself. This can help reduce anxiety symptoms and improve overall emotional well-being.
