Anxiety
/“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
Do you struggle in making decisions?
Do you second guess yourself?
Do you prefer when others make decisions for you?
Do you feel afraid?
Do you find yourself always worrying, fretting or avoiding?
Do you experience ritualized behaviour or panic attacks?
These are symptoms of Anxiety. This is the way the body informs us to “be alert” and become aware. Often though, people feel frightened by Anxiety and find ways to subdue the feeling.
Anxiety affects about 12% of the population.
If anxiety goes unchecked it can produce panic attacks It has been found that if a person suffers from anxiety they may also have challenges with depression. This is because anxiety and depression, like many emotional challenges, have similarities. Anxiety keeps the person “on the go” worrying about making a “wrong choice or move”. While the depressive person feels they are already there – life can not or will not get better – why choose? Both states have difficulty making decisions and have similar physical symptoms: nausea, stomach issues, eating disorders, general aches, and pains with no obvious cause, headaches, and interrupted sleep.
At CPEB we use a combined approach of psychotherapy and emotional bodywork to address anxiety. This combined approach allows clients to become aware of their anxious feelings, and how these emotions are felt and stored in the body. Understanding one’s personal dynamic and mind/body relationship allows one to become aware of their Reactions. This new awareness then helps one to work to create a new Response that facilitates a new Resolve and the Results one wants in their life.
A new program we are now implementing into our treatment program is the Safe Sound Protocol (SSP) developed by Dr. Stephen Porges.

Relaxation & Visualization is a deeply relaxing and restorative practice with many health benefits.
Relaxation & Visualization allows one to be just aware of stress and concerns while letting them go through the guided meditation. This process creates deepening degrees of calm throughout the whole body. The result is that the physical body releases its holding patterns of distress allowing for full and complete relaxation of the mind and body.
