Question: How does therapy work?
Diana has been working with people for years helping them to understand how the mind and body work, and the role of emotions in our daily choices and habits. Mindfulness and guided meditation techniques can help you take what you KNOW you want to do and then actually MAKE it happen. Diana will teach you how to get started with making healthy habits and getting rid of old, unhealthy ones. She will help you get emotional distance from unpleasant memories, events, and pain from the past so that you can move forward with confidence.
Question: Will I always need to be on medication?
Although Diana cannot tell a person to stop taking medication, she can provide therapy that helps a person to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of anxiety. She works with you to get to the root of the problem so that you can move forward and enjoy a better quality of life.
Question: Can people really get better or will I always be like this?
Most people wonder if they are hard-wired for experiencing anxiety because they have lived with it for so long. They may have learned it as a coping method in their family of origin. It’s normal to see anxiety in parents and grandparents, and also see it starting up in children. Is anxiety a learned behavior? It is likely a combination of biological predisposition and a strong response to trauma and stress. Sometimes people who have a lot of problems with anxiety also have problems with obsessive compulsive disorder, or skin picking, or hair pulling. Whatever the case may be, you CAN get better with the right tools and a good therapist to help you. Just take the first step by calling Diana to make an appointment.
