Somatic Psychotherapy for Anxiety

When Anxiety is too much

  • Is your worry about the state of the world keeping you up at night?

  • Do your thoughts spiral into doom and gloom, leaving you unable to making decisions?

  • Do you avoid situations out of fear your anxiety will get so bad you may have a panic attack or fear you may lose control?

  • Are you waking with fear that something bad will happen?

  • Do you notice yourself feeling sick with worry, overwhelmed by body aches or pains and other health problems even though nothing is wrong.

  • Your system is overwhelmed and on high alert.

When anxiety is keeping you from living the life you desire, now is the time to seek support.

Anxiety in the body

Anxiety is a visceral experience meaning you experience the sensations physically, sometimes in your gut, or sometimes, your entire body. This can be overwhelming and scary. When you feel sensations like nervousness, heart racing, tingling sensations, for example, you may start to worry that something may really be wrong and you think the worst.

After awhile you feel exhausted, deflated, and stuck in a cycle of worry and pain.

A somatic based approach is effective for helping build capacity for you to work through anxiety in a safe supported way.

You will explore ways anxiety impacts your life and practice ways to work with anxiety. Together, we will face anxiety in a way that is manageable for you. You will learn to befriend anxiety and build tolerance so anxiety is less overwhelming.

Reaching out for anxiety support is an act of self care. Let’s get started today.
