Ongoing Anxiety is more than just worry and uneasiness. Anxiety can impact your ability to make decisions, the quality of your relationships and your productivity in life. It causes you to doubt your abilities. Inner Peace may feel impossible.
Unchecked anxiety can lead us to seek relief through addictive or compulsive behaviors such as substance abuse, over eating, or compulsive sexual behavior. Often times anxiety can morph into anger and irritability.
Anxiety intensifies when we are constantly replaying the past or worrying about the future. We ruminate about what should have happened or what “may” happen.
We fortune tell: What if I make a fool of myself? What if something bad happens? These are just a few examples of common thought processes in a state of anxiety.
Research shows that there are many techniques that help to reduce anxiety symptoms:
- Mindfulness-this is simply being in the moment. It is present tense. Mindfulness does not necessarily mean meditation. It can be as simple as breathing and becoming aware of sensations in your body. It can mean tuning into your five senses. This is an incredible tool taught in counseling and therapy.
- Seeking support. Sharing anxious thoughts aloud may seem like it gives power to them, but it in fact has the opposite effect. A therapist can help you to identify thinking errors that need to be challenged and reframed.
- CBT Cognitive behavioral therapy. Speaking of reframes, anxiety
- Somatic therapy-becoming away of sensations in our body
- ART-Accelerated Resolution Therapy or EMDR Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy are powerful ways that we can heal from anxiety using the power of eye-movements to create new pathways in the brain and tap into our subconscious. These therapies are done fully conscious, but by replicating the same benefits of REM cycle sleep our brains can do tremendous processing and healing.
