“If you can love and respect yourself in failure, worlds of adventure and new experiences will open up before you, and your fears will vanish.”
– Dr. David Burns
Being stuck in this worry cycle is exhausting.
You have endless “to-do” lists, don’t know where to start, and you feel the walls closing in. You need to get some rest, but you just can’t “switch-off”.
When will it stop?
The medication isn’t working. The deep-breathing isn’t working. Even getting massages isn’t working.
You wish you could just shut everything out, but you’re too responsible to let things drop.
But what if you can find balance?
Imagine the worries - gone.
Panic - gone. Unrealistic expectations - gone.
Your “to-do” list isn’t haunting you, you can stop worrying about work when the workday ends, you’re able to get real rest.
The mind isn’t constantly racing, and you actually feel at ease in your mind, body, and soul.
You deserve this and it is possible.
How does this relief happen? Magic wand perhaps? Not quite.
You and I will identify what you’re really hoping to achieve. We will look at your goals to figure out the path. And I’m going to take time with you to first make sure: is this something you actually want to change? Because I think these undesirable, and even painful, emotions show something wonderful and beautiful about who you are and what you value. Let’s make sure we aren’t throwing something out that actually has an important role in protecting you.
I’m also going to be honest, this big change is unlikely to happen by us just chatting once a week. If you want significant change, it will mean hard work and doing homework. But I will help you through it if you’re willing to take it on.
This is a method that helps you finally get specific, melt through that resistance that we all feel towards change (even when we desperately want change), and teaches you powerful tools you can continue to use for ongoing wellbeing.
The method I use? - TEAM-CBT.
For anxiety we will:
1.) Screen for obsessive thoughts, because these often need to be treated differently
2.) Discuss using the most effective method for anxiety that’s out there -> Exposure
Who this type of therapy is for:
→You’re just taking it hour by hour, trying not to drown.
→Spending too much time planning, planning again, and rehearsing plans! There is a point of diminishing returns, and you’ve hit it.
→Doing the bare minimum when it comes to self-care. With that long list, you always end up last.
→Even when you get a win, that feeling of relief is short-lived because it always could have been just a little bit better.
→You’ve tried deep breathing, the Calm App, medication, self help books, a morning routine, and avoidance - none of these have completely worked.
