Counselling for Anxiety.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a complex issue. Anxiety is normal until it is controlling your life.
Two key issues influence anxiety deeply, and these relate to personal boundaries and personal belief systems.
The problem is that only we can control it, and control how we respond to it. We can spend a lot of time managing the symptoms, and while medications can be useful in the short term, they will never solve your anxiety.
Where did this all come from? Often, it is associated with an expectancy, or a hyper-vigilance regarding risk and/or harm that has its origins in previous trauma.
When boundaries or belief systems are crushed by events or people, ongoing worry grows into anxiety. And this can be followed by a very dark form of depression.
This is a terrible place to end up in, and yet personal experience has shown us that it can be totally overcome …IF you will do the necessary work.
Let’s be clear: if you want to stay there, you can, but if you want to change, then we can help you walk out into the light again. It will take courage (which you already have if you are reading this) and letting go of some stuff.
The practices of forgiveness and gratitude are central to an ongoing freedom and quality-of-life, and we can help you understand what these really are.
Consider This
Come see me at Resolve Counselling if anxiety:
Affects you when you're around certain people, or bothers you when you think of being alone or not being alone
Impacts you in open or closed physical spaces
Occurs when you drink large amounts of caffeine, alcohol or other substances
Is causing conflict or arguments in your relationships
Is accompanied by persistent expectations of something going wrong, or you not being good enough
Presents you with racing thoughts, hyper-vigilance, irritability
Expresses itself in you with symptoms of fatigue, restlessness, tightness in chest or stomach nausea.
We all have an addiction potential.
An addiction usually starts as a pain-management strategy, which at first
helped us get by.
However, the problems start when we won't face the real issues, and often
that's because something frightens us.
