My approach is for the client to learn how mindfulness and present-moment focus can reduce anxiety.
I teach the client relaxation skills like progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, breath work, and how to differentiate better between relaxation and tension.
The client will become better able to identify and communicate thoughts and emotions effectively with a consistent decrease in the level and frequency of anxiety.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy by practicing relaxation exercises daily, using directed journal prompts as assigned, examining the probability of the negative expectation occurring, and replacing negative self-talk with reality-based alternatives and positive self-talk.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can think about how you would describe past and present experiences with anxiety, complete with their impact on daily functioning.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Pueblo, CO 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 Pueblo 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.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
