Anxiety & Stress
For how long have you been feeling like you are drowning?
You have Post-It notes all over your desktop at work as well as countless applications to remind you of your tasks, only that the list keeps getting longer and longer.
You always thought that:
“Once I finish this project, things will settle down and I will finally be able to take care of my health, my relationship, my family…
Once I earn X amount of money, then I’ll take a vacation.
Once I close this deal, then I’ll be able to relax”.
I have noticed that professionals tend to think that their energy, moods, emotions, physical and mental health are as fountains; you take for granted that its water will be running over and over again, leading to competence, never ending energy and enjoyment to yourself and others.
However, my assumption is that your body can’t seem to be able to keep up with you and the demands you have been making on it!
You’re noticing that no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to relax anymore. You always feel on edge, thoughts whirl around in your mind, keeping you up even though you feel tired.
Is that big decision you made yesterday going to finally put your team on the right track or will it blow up all of the progress you’ve made so far? Will you measure up to your team’s expectations? Will you have enough time to get all of your tasks done and eat lunch away from your computer?
You’ve had enough and you are ready to find a way to finally enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to create for yourself, your relationship and your family.
What it might come as a surprise to you is the fact that anxiety isn’t always a bad thing.
A little pressure at work can be motivating, it can help you perform better and teach you ways of overcoming obstacles that may occur.
No wonder you managed to push through when others may have quit.
It led you to become the driven, ambitious, and motivated person you are today.
The main problem is that your stress and anxiety have now taken over, and it’s time for you to be the one in charge.
During our sessions together:
I will help you listen to your story by exploring where the problems are, what impact they are having on you, your relationship and possibly your extended environment. I will also ask you about how the anxiety started and what changes you would like to see happening.
I would like to help you understand your story; why you are struggling with anxiety and the things that might be stopping you from overcoming it on your own.
My aim is to help you rewrite your story; I want to help you to find your strengths and resources within yourself so that you can resolve your challenges or at least cope with them better.
In between the sessions you may be asked to track your anxiety as well as identify possible trigger points, such as people or circumstances that tend to raise your stress level.
You will also be invited to think about our discussion, the connections which we made together and possibly complete some relevant tasks, which will enable you to start practicing some points already mentioned during the sessions.
Remember I want to help you stop feeling overwhelmed, afraid, and burnt out!
