If you’ve been struggling with anxiety that interferes with your life, you will want to learn the anti-anxiety exercises we teach at Chrones Counseling.
In your online, Telehealth therapy sessions, you will learn exercises that utilize the eyes, facial muscles, breathing, or your mind to help you slow down your nervous system and reduce or eliminate anxiety.
Many of these exercises are so subtle and easy, you can do them outside of therapy, while you are with others, without anyone even knowing. Learn more about the symptoms of anxiety disorders. And know that Chrones Counseling offers mental health therapy and innovative techniques that combat anxiety effectively.
Learn exercises to slow down your nervous system, so you can feel less anxious and more emotionally regulated.
We can help you fight anxiety by creating and strengthening new neural pathways.
Other exercises you will learn in your therapy sessions at Chrones Counseling will help you reduce or eliminate anxiety through neural plasticity: creating and strengthening new neural pathways in your brain. These pathways strengthen your ability to regulate your emotions, so you feel less anxious, while weakening the pathways that you have led you to use poor coping skills, perhaps including addiction, in the past.
The more you do any of these exercises, the easier and easier it will become to regulate all your emotions, including anxiety.
These neural-plasticity exercises help you link neurons together to fight anxiety. As the saying goes, “Neurons that fire together, wire together.” Just as practicing a sport makes you better at it, so do the anti-anxiety and neural-plasticity exercises we teach in therapy sessions at Chrones Counseling, exercises that improve your emotional regulation and emotional intelligence and lessen anxiety.
Anxiety therapy offered in-person in St. Charles, IL, and through Telehealth for clients throughout Illinois and Florida.
In addition to talk therapy, other treatments for anxiety include EMDR, hypnosis (now known as Non-Sleep Deep Rest, or NSDR), and RELEASE™ Therapy.
As you and your counselor work toward a better understanding of your issues and anxiety, some of your anxiety and issues will be resolved just by having your new understanding of yourself and your problems.
Other issues and anxiety will resolve over time, because talk therapy itself involves something called “interpersonal neurobiology”—you will change and improve your positive neural pathways through the empathic relationship you have with your counselor. The new neural pathways that form and strengthen will lessen anxiety, because they are “positive” pathways, which also weakens the negative pathways when they are used less. There are enormous amounts of research that show that the “therapeutic alliance” you have with your counselor is the most healing part of therapy.
And beyond that, at Chrones Counseling we offer therapies such as EMDR, hypnosis (now know as Non-Sleep Deep Rest, or NSDR) and RELEASE Therapy, all of which have been shown to eliminate anxiety. So, reach out to Chrones Counseling today to start anxiety therapy that is rooted in research.
