Understanding Anxiety & its Impact
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes overwhelming, persistent, or begins to interfere with daily life, it can feel debilitating. Anxiety can affect your mind, body, and relationships—showing up as excessive worry, avoidance behaviours, muscle tension, sleep disturbances, and even panic attacks.
We provide anxiety therapy in Pembroke for various types of anxiety, including:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Social Anxiety
- Panic Disorder
- Postpartum Anxiety
- Separation Anxiety
- Health Anxiety
- Agoraphobia
- Selective Mutism
What Anxiety Can Look Like:
Anxiety affects everyone differently, but these are some common experiences that may seem all too familiar:
- Racing thoughts, excessive worry, or overanalyzing
- Difficulty sleeping or constant exhaustion
- Muscle tension, jaw clenching, headaches, or digestive issues
- Avoidance of situations, people, or activities
- Feelings of overwhelm, dread, or fear of making mistakes
- Difficulty relaxing or enjoying everyday moments
No matter what you’re experiencing, we’re here to help you find stability and peace of mind.
Anxiety Management Pembroke
Approaches We Use in Anxiety Therapy in Pembroke
At Connected Counselling Services, we take a personalized, evidence-based approach to treating anxiety. Our therapy and anxiety support is tailored to your unique needs, experiences, and strengths.
Psychoeducation
Understanding anxiety is the first step to managing it. We help you explore how anxiety affects your brain and body, recognize triggers, and develop strategies to reduce its impact.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety. It helps you challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build coping skills, and regain control over your responses to stress.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
When emotions feel overwhelming, DBT helps with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness techniques to create calm and balance.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
If past trauma contributes to your anxiety, EMDR can help you process and heal from distressing experiences, reducing their emotional intensity.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps you stop fighting your anxiety and start focusing on living a life aligned with your values. You’ll develop self-compassion, mindfulness, and practical strategies for managing fear and worry.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
SFBT helps you quickly identify patterns in your anxiety and focus on what’s working rather than what’s not. By emphasizing solutions instead of problems, this approach helps you develop small, achievable strategies to manage anxious thoughts, reduce avoidance behaviours, and build confidence in handling stress.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness helps you become more aware of your thoughts and emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them. Through practices like guided meditation, breathwork, and focused awareness, you can learn to manage anxiety with greater ease.
Somatic Approaches
Anxiety manifests in the body as much as in the mind. Somatic approaches use techniques like movement, grounding exercises, and body scanning to release tension, regulate your nervous system, and restore a sense of calm.
Anxiety is different for everyone. Whether you’re neurodivergent, queer, or living with a disability, therapy is adapted to your needs, helping you manage stress, build coping skills, and regain confidence.
Take the path toward
ease, stability, and control.
