What is Anxiety?

You probably know what anxiety feels like, but what exactly is it? The definition of anxiety I work from is: Anxiety is a feared future outcome that we feel ill equipped to handle.

My Approaches

I approach anxiety practically. First, I use CBT to understand the roots of anxiety (not just using symptom-calming methods like breathing). Then, we go deeper and use EMDR, LSI, or TIR to get to trauma-informed roots of the anxiety. I have had a great amount of success using a trauma-informed approach to treating anxiety disorders.
