Our Anxiety Treatment Services
Anxiety, a formidable force that can affect every aspect of our lives, demands a nuanced and comprehensive approach for effective management. While traditional therapy predominately addresses the cognitive components of anxiety, there is a growing recognition of the need to address the physical symptoms for a more holistic approach. Understanding the roots of anxiety is a crucial first step, but what if you could have more tangible tools?
How Core Energetics Helps with Anxiety
Emotional tension is not just a mental experience. It creates physical symptoms that can disrupt our ability to connect with and feel safe within our bodies. Anxiety can show up in the body as muscular tension, shallow breathing, restlessness, numbness, and more. Core Energetics is a somatic modality that addresses physical symptoms of anxiety to create safety and regulation in the body. Our approach works by:
Releasing physical tension: We use movement, breathwork, and expression techniques to release suppressed or unconscious emotional energy in the body that may be fueling anxiety.
Reconnecting to the here and now: We use grounding techniques to reconnect with the present moment to bring you out of the “fantasy thinking” that anxiety creates (i.e. imagining worst-case scenarios or replaying past events).
Link the past with the present: We explore how lifelong patterns and childhood experiences have shaped our adult lives, potentially forming the foundation of fear-based living.
This holistic method allows you to process anxiety on a deeper level, addressing its root causes rather than just masking the symptoms.
Working Together for an Anxiety Treatment Plan
You are the expert of your own body. That’s why we collaborate closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that will help you meet your goals. During our initial sessions, we’ll work to:
Explore how anxiety impacts your daily life.
Identify physical and emotional patterns linked to anxiety in your body.
Develop short-term and long-term goals.
Together, we will create a treatment plan that aligns with your priorities and comfort level.
Setting Anxiety Treatment Goals
The healing process isn’t linear. Together, we will identify goals that will help us focus on the areas that matter most to you. Creating clear goals is also a way to reflect on your growth and progress, especially during the more difficult moments of your healing journey. Common goals include:
Reducing the intensity and frequency of anxiety symptoms.
Gaining a better understanding of anxiety triggers.
Learning somatic techniques that can provide relief from physical anxiety symptoms.
Through regular check-ins and adjustments to your goals, we ensure a defined and collaborative approach to addressing your anxiety. These milestones also serve as a reminder that progress is happening, even if it’s not always immediately visible.
Core Energetics Anxiety Treatment Services That Work
Anxiety impacts us on many levels. We take a holistic approach to anxiety treatment by addressing each of these areas:
Cognitive patterns: We explore how unconscious thoughts and limiting beliefs can keep us stuck in a fear-based mindset.
Physical symptoms: Somatic techniques help release stored emotional energy and promote nervous system regulation.
Understanding our history: Gain awareness of how generational patterns and past experiences, especially from childhood, shape the way you process fear and anxiety.
We must address all aspects of ourselves to fully process and integrate our experience of anxiety.
Anxiety Treatment Done Differently
At Find The Path, we focus on the whole person—not just the symptoms. We understand that anxiety is both complex and deeply vulnerable. That’s why we concentrate on:
Addressing the root causes of anxiety rather than just managing symptoms.
Exploring the connection between body, mind, and emotions.
Using a trauma-informed, judgement-free approach that fosters a sense of trust and safety.
We aim to treat anxiety with compassion and competence, ensuring you feel supported and empowered throughout your healing journey.
