Changing the way you think about and react to situations and dilemmas through actions and understanding. CBT is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave.
With Anxiety Coaching the first thing that we will do is to help you understand that what is happening to you is perfectly natural and not life threatening and that you are not suffering a mental breakdown. I find that that process alone brings immense comfort to most of my anxiety clients.
The second stage involves coaching you in the most effective ways to cope with any situation where anxiety has previously controlled you. Typically, this involves coaching in the following scenarios:
- interpersonal confidence
- bad or broken relationships
- family issues
- issues at work
- low self esteem
- low confidence
- creating endless negative futures
- dwelling on bad past events
- sad and guilty feelings
During this second stage, I help you create a lasting mind-set to make sure that whenever anxiety next strikes, you are fully armed to deal with it.
In general I find it takes between two to three sessions for my clients to experience a dramatic reduction in the effect that anxiety is having in their lives.
Thereafter you are free to return for booster top up sessions when and if you ever feel the need.
The components of anxiety, stress, fear and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do.
