Anxiety is prevalent in our society today and we are living in a time when we are inundated with information, whether we want it or not. Life can be stessful and, at times, alarming. It has never been more important to learn how to manage stress in a healthy way. Cognitive Begavioral therapy is a great tool for this. It increases our awareness of potentially catastrophic thinking and helps us to identify and change the thoughts and feelings that tend to trigger, maintain, or exacerbate anxiety. OCD, PTSD, phobias, panic disorders, and social discomfort are all manifestations of anxiety. Psychoeducation can be a powerful tool, as when we understand the root of our anxiety (nature vs, nurture or a combination of both), we can better understand both the physiological and emotional impact of chronic anxiety. Working to reduce the physical responses and resultant "what if" thinking can be helpful, as well as learning to tolerate the stress (Stress Inoculation Therapy) and self soothe.
