As You may already know there are a wealth of self help books and
treatment means available. Many of You have tried the Self -Help Methods
available which is one means of seeking relief.
Information: One of the first steps, if you
haven't already tried, is to locate and then
explain to you in detail, the exact type of anxiety you
are experiencing, so you have a beginning hold on what
is happening to you. This in itself offers some
relief and hope for change.
Cognitive Restructuring and Thinking Changes.
Locating
the Triggers to Anxiety and Attacks: Feelings,
Situations, Thoughts that Set Anxiety Off, Desensitizing
and Closing Them Down.
Identifying all of the actual felt
symptoms and then learning to control them
in a achievable and easy paced way to stop them going
into a full blown attack.
...Fear of the attack itself, as you know, is a
stressor.
Simple
Situational Avoidance associated with the panic attacks.
To Some Extent, Good Old Regular Exercise may help
reduce the frequency of the attacks.
What You Eat and Drink: Practically
Speaking, Caffeine and other stimulants should be
reduced or eliminated. Also Certain Foods affect your
system and feelings in different ways and we can find
and control these cause and effect foods.
Breaking
down what seems to be the overwhelming task into An
Easier Going and Accomplishable Relief Walk Down the
Road of Relief.
Though out the years of my private
practice, beginning back in 1972,
I have found that significant healing and continuous mental health requires a
variety of approaches.
In most cases, effective
professionals are aware of and do address the mental or cognitive, the
behavioral, the emotional-social and physical aspects of their patients in order
to affect relief. There is another area with is often not considered.
This Area is Spirituality and the Relationship A Person Has with God
or Higher Power. Full
Health and Happiness are based on the quality and depth of this connection. I
believe this can have the most profound effect on getting well.
Our program also consists of,
if you
choose, using God's Loving,
Universally Accepted, Caring, Biblical Principles and Pastoral Clinical Christian Counseling
Psychology, put into sensible and understandable practice, as well as, some of
the Traditional Cognitive-Behavioral
Treatment and Stress Reduction Models, to dissolve fear in any of it's
forms; anxiety, phobia, panic and stress. I believe this array offers the most
powerful and effective means of relief and healing for anxiety.
By the Way,
Our Idea of a Christian Counseling
Program is non-judgmental, non-degrading or guilt producing, and in fact
actually relieves guilt. Often our
clients have suffered a
Childhood History of Victimization,
Degradation, Humiliation, Physical, Verbal and Mental Abuse or Some Form of
Major Emotional Loss or Trauma, with lingering effects &
suffering.
There is a tremendous amount of Love and Mercy that God has
for us. "Perfect Love Casteth Out All Fear." and "Be Anxious for Nothing." are
commonly known Bible Verses, and "The Peace that Passeth All Understanding," all
give us hope for Relief. Knowing These Words is all fine
and well, but actually putting into practice and receiving what they promise is What Needs to Be
Accomplished!
Again, if you chose, making these scriptural principles work
effectively for you and in today's society,
truly understanding the depths of His Love for You and how to access it, is a
very serious part of my job.
In some cases I will be working with your family
physician or psychiatrist, if you agree, to use
anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medications, for a term,
which have shown great results for anxiety, stress and
depression, BUT only if they are called for to help you
in healing. We believe medication should be used, only
if necessary, and then carefully administered and
monitored.
These medications work on your the central nervous system to help
heal and actually normalize it, to reduce the feelings
of anxiety, depression and others symptoms.
Actually studies
have shown that the personal therapeutic counseling
relationship approach,
rather than medication is far more effective in the long
run.
Besides
Cognitive &
Behavioral Therapies & Christian Counseling,
Other Modalities may be used in conjunction with drug therapy including
relaxation techniques, pleasant mental imagery and
Functional Clinical Hypnosis.
Systematic desensitization is a behavioral technique used
to treat phobias. It is based upon having the person relax, then imagine
the components of the phobia, working from the least fearful to the most
fearful.
Graded, incremental, real life exposure has also been used with
success to help people overcome their fears.
Cognitive-behavioral
approaches teach patients how to view the panic situations differently and
demonstrate ways to reduce anxiety, using breathing exercises or techniques to
refocus attention, for example. Another technique used in cognitive-behavioral
therapy, called exposure therapy, can often help alleviate the phobias that may
result from panic disorder. In exposure therapy, people are very slowly exposed
to the fearful situation until they become desensitized to it.
So Again, First of All and Simply Put, All Fear, Anxiety,
Stress, Excessive Worry, Phobias, Panic Problems or Conditions Can Be Treated &
Relieved.
How we go about affecting relief is a matter of understanding you
and your particular circumstances and symptoms and then using the appropriate
means to alleviate your suffering.
No, It's Not Easy but It is Possible to have RELIEF.
Basically We first need to know and
understand the kind of anxiety or stress you're suffering from and then
we can begin a program of Rescue & Relief.
