Anxiety is the fight/flight mechanism in our brain and is essential to our survival as a species. It’s important to know that anxiety is not what’s wrong with you. It’s what’s right with you.  In this day and age we are asking our brains to take on a lot more than it was designed to do originally. This is the reason anxiety and depression are at an all time high. Anxiety compounds in the amygdala, a part of your brain located in the center of the limbic system. Your limbic system is responsible for your emotional regulation.

The more overwhelmed the amygdala gets, the harder it is for your limbic system to balance your emotions and feelings.  Repeated experiences of fear and uncertainty build up the fight/flight mechanism The amygdala stores up and collects anxiety and trauma, and as a result, each time you experience fear it produces a stronger, more anxious state.

Many people say they feel they were born with anxiety. It is possible you were. For a number of reasons, it is very likely you experienced anxiety in utero. Just having a baby is an anxiety evoking experience. Scientific studies have shown that anxiety and depression are inherited just as much as height, hair, eye color etc.  As you age, your brain waves become dysregulated and anxious states become more and more severe, eventually affecting your ability to respond rationally without becoming emotionally highjacked by your amygdala. There is a long list of indicators that reveal your overwhelmed amygdala ie bad sleep patterns, eating issues, blood pressure, migraines, IBS, shorter fuses, memory, the ability to concentrate… the list goes on and on. 

Anxiety, depression and trauma make your world smaller. Your comfort zone begins to shrink. Certain memories may trigger uncomfortable thoughts or flashbacks.  Maybe you don’t like driving in a car anymore. Social settings have begun to feel unpleasant and unwelcomed. Perhaps thoughts of going on a plane or into an elevator, are limit your ability to live the life you want.

Our center takes very gentle and realistic steps toward helping you to live your life again with small and brief sessions that help you to better understand how your anxiety speaks to you, and how to change the dialogue in your head so that you can conquer the trauma or fear that is unjustly controlling your life.
