About
Is the pattern of "reacting" rather than "responding" negatively impacting your relationships and professional life? Is your self-esteem battered from being constantly criticized for overreacting? These are indications that the issue lies in your nervous system rather than your cognitive process. When this is the case, it makes sense to focus treatment on developing techniques to modulate your nervous system. This will help you access critical thinking and respond in a productive way. Your relationships, career, and self-esteem will benefit when you are able to formulate a response rather than be driven by emotional reactivity. Your capacity for logic is inconsequential if your body reacts before you even know what you are thinking. I help clients become adept at recognizing and controlling their fight, flight, and freeze responses thus giving their critical thinking time to kick in before the problematic reaction or behavior is triggered. It's frustrating to not be able to change a behavior or emotional state despite hours committed to traditional talk therapy and a lot of effort. Therapy doesn't have to be so tough. I help my clients develop the facility for monitoring and moderating their stress responses so that they experience increased control over their behaviors and thoughts.
