Anxiety Treatment at Rezak Therapy
Anxiety is a map. It tells us that something in our lives isn’t feeling just right. Our holistic therapists work with you to better understand what your map is trying to tell you. Then to join you on your journey toward well-being.
Managing Symptoms
First order of business, we introduce some basic skills to help you manage your anxiety. These often include cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and embodiment approaches.
Exploring Underlying Reasons
As holistic therapists, next we explore the underlying causes of the anxiety. There is a reason that you have developed anxiety symptoms around certain areas of your life. These could be existential, trauma-related, inherited in your DNA, or something else.
Rewiring the Brain
Once we know the underlying reasons for the anxiety, you can begin to rewire your brain so that it no longer rules your life. This is where somatic approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting come in. Also depth approaches are used as well, working with dreams, art, and mythology.
“Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.”
— Kahlil Gibran
