My go-to approach for treating anxiety is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I find the best benefit in CBT because it is an evidence-based practice that helps anxious people learn the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Gaining insight into the connection between these things can help rewire your brain and find alternate thoughts that lead to a better quality of life. This will also include some psychoeducation about the intervention of CBT and skill building to incorporate into your everyday life.
I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy:
I know that a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when they are able to control their anxiety outside of therapy. The most successful clients in therapy take the skills talked about in each session and apply them to their lives outside. When someone learns how to live with an anxiety disorder, you can see it in the way they present themselves. They are calm and relaxed, speak with confidence, and know that they are in control of themselves and their anxiety.
There are so many different ways that clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy. I often suggest books, educational videos, TED talks, etc. It also can be helpful to meet with your doctor to rule out any medical conditions that may be worsening your anxiety and to get set up with a healthy diet and exercise plan. Physical and mental wellness go hand-in-hand, and I have found that the food we eat and the things we do have a huge impact on people's ability to cope with stress and anxiety.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can create a list of things you would like to discuss in your appointment. The first appointment is all about getting to know each other and obtain a full understanding of where you come from, what you've been dealing with in life that brought you to therapy. I expect my clients to show up however they are comfortable, bring your favorite tea/coffee, grab a journal if you like to take notes, etc. and just be cozy. My therapy room is a judgement free zone and I'm here to help you reach your goals for your life. I value your input because I know that you are the expert of your life and I'm just here to help you navigate it.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Beverly Hills, MI can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Beverly Hills therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
