Anxiety and fear are common. Our therapist, Crystal Shi, LPC is trained in helping clients with anxiety and fear. She has created interventions in order to treat anxious and fearful thinking.
I use DBT which provides tools to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies for managing intense emotions, and enhance mindfulness to stay present and grounded in the face of anxiety-provoking situations.
Anxiety and Fears are based in the stories we tell ourselves. Each can develop throughout our lives in many different ways. My experience with clients has been that anxiety is steaming from previous traumatic experiences. These experiences can be childhood abuse or neglect, being bullied at school, to name a few. Or simply from a negative experience that becomes a story we continue to tell ourselves and believe. My role is to listen and allow the story to unfold over time. I understand takes time to trust a therapist. And it takes time to tell your story. I enjoy adding Expressive Arts to the process because it tells so much nonverbally. There has been times where it uncovered issues the clients never thought about or shared. I have discovered through my own work and working with clients that it can connect us to our inner self that is full of the insight we need to heal.
I assist clients in dealing with phobias and anxiety through first understanding the root cause of these fears and the trauma that may have occurred which may have resulted in the abnormal fears and anxiety.
Do fear and anxiety keep you from enjoying life to its fullest? Maybe it has cost you a relationship or job loss? Or it could just keep you from the ability to have fun with friends.
I can teach you coping skills and help you work through your issues so you can live a free life with confidence.
