Anxiety
Anxiety affects our thoughts, emotions, and bodies. There are also differing degrees and types of anxiety. Some people may experience panic attacks while others feel dread, worry, and anticipate the worst case scenario for given situations.
What's it about?
Anxiety is very common in those who have experienced trauma, as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder.
To control anxiety, we need to reprogram our brain through our thought patterns. There are many different strategies to do this.
Every time we think negative thoughts or the worst case scenario, we are strengthening the connections in our brains and making it easier to think those threatening thoughts in the future.
It's like we are creating a super-highway that our thoughts automatically take every time we start to think because it is easy and we have paved it well. The problem is, it's difficult to see the off ramp to STOP thinking those negative thoughts.
We help you tear up the super-highway of negativity and pave a new and stronger highway of rational happier thoughts, after all, you deserve to be happy!
