Anxiety Coaching
Everyone experiences stress, anxiety and even fear. In most cases, people are able to adapt to this anxiety and use it to their advantage as it is often the result of the body and mind warning of something that needs attention. It is the way that our mind and our body tell us that there is something wrong or some action needs to be taken. Some of us, however, go through anxiety that isn't always rational or it interferes with our ability to function. It can be debilitating and often, as it gets worse, people will do anything to avoid those intense feelings.
We work with clients to help them adapt to, manage and eventually alleviate anxiety. Our approach is routed in the notion of managing physiological reactions, managing cognitive distortions, changing behaviors and exposing people to their fears in the name of decreasing this type of unhelpful anxiety while preserving the type that can be beneficial. This all happens in a supportive and empathetic coaching environment. Research has shown that coaching is an effective treatment for anxiety.
We are trained to work with people who are struggling with anxiety that involves identifiable people, activities, events or circumstances, and non-specific anxiety that has a biological basis. Our coaches work to help people relax both their minds and bodies.
