Anxiety comes in many different forms; social anxiety, general anxiety, specific anxiety, and people pleasing are just a few. Some common symptoms of anxiety include: irritability, stress, overthinking, expecting the worst, depression, fear, increased heart rate or breath rate, trouble sleeping, pit in stomach, trouble concentrating, etc.

Anxiety is not always a bad thing. It's actually a natural motivator. Anxiety helps us get to appointments on time, remember to turn in assignments, pack a toothbrush when traveling, get up when the alarm goes off, and so much more. Anxiety causes problems, when it's our only motivator or when it influences a majority of our thoughts.

Traumas come in all kinds of shapes and levels of impact, but traumas tend to have commonalities: Trauma brings with it shame and a host of difficult feelings - shame causes isolation - isolation causes more shame and more difficult feelings - all of this complicates having healthy relationships which are vital to being a healthy person - being in relationship often causes triggers - triggers bring about automatic actions and reactions that feel out of control and cause shame and relationship issues - and on and on and on.
​
My framework for treating trauma comes from Moshe Feldenkrais "you can't do what you want until you know what you're doing." This powerful statement illuminates the crux of the problem: trauma causes automatic actions and reactions that feel out of control.
Being able to reflect on not only the trauma but the associated triggers and actions in a non-judgmental space, process those behaviors and feelings offers a powerful healing opportunity: the opportunity to be known deeply and accepted where you are. This acceptance lays the groundwork for doing what you want, being who you want to be. The groundwork for healing.
