ANXIETY

Anxiety is a natural part of life and being human. It’s part of a natural survival process that has helped keep us safe for generations upon generations.

Sometimes life events can launch our anxiety to new levels. These are uncertain times, and everyone is affected by the recent world events. Overnight, our uncertainty about the future launched from a fairly tolerable level to something much greater.

When something like this happens, our anxiety can become disordered, disrupt our lives, and even seem to “take us over” or be “out of control”.   We may find we’re exhausted by the worry or agitation, causing our health, work, family and relationships to suffer.

If this seems familiar, then know that you are not alone.  Most people are operating at a higher level of anxiety nowadays and this is the time to get help.
And there is help.

Yes, the world is in an uncertain state, but it doesn’t have to rule our life.

For some, this level of anxiety is not new. For those of us who suffer from Generalized Anxiety, OCD, and Panic Disorder, we might have sought help before. Though these disorders are highly treatable, you may have even struggled with treatment in the past that didn’t help. This is not uncommon. Sometimes it can take a person years to get the correct diagnosis and even longer to get the proper, supportive treatment.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach, proven to be the most effective therapy to treat anxiety. Working a true CBT program with a skilled and experienced therapist is important and can have life-changing benefits.

Erin Loken has over fifteen years of experience treating adults, adolescents, and children with CBT techniques.  She tailors each program to suit the age and cognitive development of each client, walking each person, step-by-step, through the process.

Our future is defined by the steps we take now. If you decide that anxiety is too much a part of your life, now, then please seek assistance to change it’s path,
