Occasional anxiety is a part of life. You may feel anxious when faced with a problem at work, before a big test, or before making an important decision.  But anxiety disorders involve more than the occasional fear or worry.  For a person with anxiety disorder, the occasional worry does not go away and usually gets worse over time. Now that we’re coming out of the pandemic, individuals that normally didn’t have excessive worry, have been triggered from the incredibly difficult year and a half that all of us faced. The good news is, an anxiety therapist can help!

Anxiety disorders come in many forms:  generalized anxiety disorder, frequent panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and specific phobias. We offer a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings, and our goal is to help you develop effective coping strategies to manage your Anxiety Therapy near Richmond.

I use a variety of methods to treat anxiety because we all come from different backgrounds, life experiences, and genetic makeup. Thus, it wouldn’t make sense to utilize a “one size fits all” treatment approach. But the treatment I’ve found that provides the quickest relief is, brainspotting.  Anxiety has a physiological response to threats on our well-being or survival, either actual or potential. And Brainspotting is, according to creator Dr. David Grand, “a physiological therapy with psychological consequences.” So it makes sense that talk therapy alone won’t do the job.  Brainspotting therapy is a Dual Attunement process. It is the attunement between the client and the therapist as well as the attunement of the client to their neurophysiology. Within the relationship the technique is used. As you already know, the problem that brought you to where you are today started in the brain and neural system, but the solution is there as well. All the BSP therapist needs to do is help the client’s brain/body heal itself from the inside out. BSP is going beyond the mind to get direct access to the brain. Just as the eyes naturally scan our outside environment for information, they can also be used to scan our internal environment! Brainspotting uses the visual field to turn the scanner back on itself and guide the brain to find “lost” information and ultimately resolution. If you’re looking for counseling in Richmond, contact Nelumbo Consultancy today to schedule an appointment for Motivational Counselling in Richmond. We’re here to help.

Finding a therapist doesn’t have to be arduous and needn’t be a worry filled process. It’s important to have a general understanding of what one might hope to accomplish in therapy, even if it’s not specific. Several online tools can help one find a potential match.

This is a perfect time to assess your first session. Evaluate whether you felt heard, welcomed, and supported in the way you best need. So you found a potential therapist and have had your first session.

Finding a Good Motivational Counselling in Richmond

Finding the right therapist or Relationship Therapy in Richmond requires having a general knowledge of  what you may need help with.

What would you like to discuss over the course of your therapy?

Maybe you suffered from anxiety and panic attacks, want to address your relationship with alcohol, or feel hamstrung by burdensome procrastination habits that cause setbacks in your personal life and professional career. you simply want to talk through how to better navigate conflict when you and your spouse argue over who’s doing dishes after dinner.

Sign of Stress in your Life

Everyone experiences stress in their life, But have you wondered if your feelings of anxiety or sadness are more than just stress? Knowing the signs can help you get the help you need. Here are some sign of stress which impact your life.

Sign #1: Not Getting Enough Sleep

Sleep is important for our bodies and minds to recharge and operate at peak performance.  The optimal amount of sleep for an adult 18-64 years old is 7-9 hours each night. If you don’t get enough sleep, you operate at a less efficient level and incur a “sleep debt.”

how you feel at night when you are not sleeping is important. If you are feeling more stressed, anxious or depressed at night, or if you feel that you can’t shut off the thoughts in your head, then you might benefit from some extra coping strategies.

Sign #2: Increased Alcohol or Drug Use

A glass of wine (or two) can help you decompress at the end of a long day. But, is it becoming hard to get through the day, or an evening, without a drink or a puff to take the edge off? Increased alcohol or drug use can be a sign that you are struggling with more than just stress.

One way to monitor your stress is to notice when you are looking forward to that glass at an earlier time earlier than usual. Physical symptoms such as dehydration or headaches are also good signs of abuse. When these occur regularly, you may be dealing with more than just stress. 

Sign #3: Isolating Yourself

It is understandable that, from time-to-time, you need to get away from people to relax. For introverts, spending some alone time is how they recharge their batteries. It becomes a problem when you isolate yourself from others all or most of the time.

This is especially true if you reduce or eliminate contact with those who are close to you and care deeply for you.One way to determine if “alone time” is at a healthy level is to notice if you draw energy from it.

Sign #4: Loss of Interest

Did you have something that you were passionate about, such as a sport or hobby, but that interest has faded? Sometimes we move on to other activities that interest us more.  Other times,  this may be another warning sign of depression. In fact, it’s one of the most common symptoms.

Sign #5: Risk-Taking Behavior

Do you need to feel a thrill in order to feel alive?  You might be getting tired of activities that you used to enjoy. If you feel that you need something more “intense” to get the same level of satisfaction, and if this leads you to unhealthy risk taking behavior, you might be waving a red flag.

Of course, there can be healthy risk-taking behavior like doing something that is outside your comfort zone.  Risk-taking behavior that results in a sign of something more than stress involves a feeling of “I don’t care about the consequences.”

Sign #6: Eating Problems

When you feel stressed, do you reach for food to soothe yourself? Do you avoid food as much as possible because the thought of eating is too stressful?

Everyone’s appetite responds to stress differently. Food, especially your favorite kind, can stimulate your brain to produce dopamine. This neurotransmitter allows you to experience pleasure. One way the brain responds to stress is to push you toward an activity that produces dopamine. Consuming foods high in sugar, carbs or sodium is one of the easiest ways for the brain to accomplish a quick boost.

Sign #7: Lack of Concentration

Have trouble staying focused? Not being able to concentrate or having a foggy memory could be signs of depression or anxiety. Depression often shows up as a lack of energy and motivation, making efforts to focus harder than usual. Anxiety, on the other hand, can show up as a more heightened state that focuses on your worries.

If you are noticing that your difficulty with focus and concentration is coming in the way of completing daily tasks, you may be recognizing a red flag.

Sign #8: Feeling Grumpy

Stress can leave you in a grumpy mood. But, if you are always feeling irritable, that can also be a sign of depression.

Society makes anger more acceptable than other, more vulnerable feelings. Raising your voice at someone that mistreated you feels safer than crying in front of someone that hurt you.

Sign #9: Avoiding Certain Situations

It can be tempting to avoid certain situations because they stress you out. For instance:

– Not wanting to touch particular objects because they are “dirty.”

– Staying away from crowded places, either inside or outside.

– Preferring not to fly in an airplane for fear that something bad will happen.

– Having to perform rituals that help soothe you.

Sign #10: Having Negative Thoughts

Stress can certainly cause negative thinking. But if those thoughts drift towards thoughts of hurting yourself or suicide, then there’s a much deeper problem. Seek out help immediately. Interestingly, when you experience these thoughts, you see them as “rational,” and may not challenge them. But there is no valid reason, ever, that you deserve to be hurt or even worse, die.

What to do next:

There will always be stressful situations to navigate. get the support you need to allow you to take back your life. You can feel more in control, and less stressed, and life can feel much better than this.
