Understanding Anxiety

 

Anxiety isn’t just a mental experience—it’s deeply rooted in the body. Many women notice:

  • Physical tension or fatigue

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Racing thoughts or constant worry

  • Emotional overwhelm

 

Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward relief.

How Our Therapy Works

We integrate somatic therapy, EMDR, and ACT to support holistic healing:

  • Somatic Therapy: Become aware of physical sensations associated with anxiety, release tension, and regulate your nervous system.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): Reprocess distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact.

  • ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy): Accept anxious thoughts while taking actions aligned with your values.

 

This combination helps address anxiety at its root, rather than just managing symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does somatic therapy help with anxiety?

Somatic therapy works with the mind-body connection to release tension and stress stored in the body. Through techniques like breathwork, grounding, and gentle movement, you’ll learn to notice physical sensations of anxiety, regulate your nervous system, and feel more present and calm.

What makes EMDR and ACT effective for anxiety?

EMDR helps reprocess distressing memories or experiences that contribute to anxiety, reducing their emotional impact. ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) teaches you to accept anxious thoughts instead of fighting them, while committing to actions aligned with your values. Together, they provide a holistic approach to managing anxiety at both the emotional and behavioral levels.

Can anxiety therapy also help with perfectionism?

Yes! Perfectionism often shows up as chronic anxiety—racing thoughts, self-criticism, or fear of making mistakes. Anxiety therapy helps you identify these patterns, address the underlying stress, and develop healthier coping strategies, so you can feel more confident and present in daily life.
