When you’re ready for a change.

Our Anxiety Therapy Involves EMDR

Anxiety therapy in Nashville has taken a leap towards progressive techniques like eye movement desensitization & reprocessing (EMDR). This method might sound technical and complex, but it's pretty straightforward. Just like the name suggests, it involves using eye movements to help process those challenging experiences that seem to stick around no matter what.

It's the mental equivalent of cleaning out that cluttered closet you've been avoiding. You're not erasing your past but rather reorganizing it in a way that doesn't cause the same emotional turbulence.

EMDR has shown tremendous results in reducing the emotional responses associated with these distressing memories. With the help of Dave Saunders Counseling, you can use EMDR to overcome debilitating anxiety.

Talk Therapy: A Key Component of Anxiety Treatment

Talk therapy, also known as psychotherapy, is another crucial component of anxiety therapy in Nashville provided by Dave Saunders Counseling. This approach involves one-on-one conversations with a trained therapist, and it's a safe space to express your feelings and thoughts without judgment. The goal is not just to talk about your anxiety but to uncover the roots of it and to develop healthier, more effective ways of reacting to anxiety triggers.

In talk therapy, you'll also learn important coping skills to manage normal anxiety. These are mental tools you can use when you start to feel anxiety building up. They could be anything from deep breathing exercises to cognitive reframing techniques.

Brainspotting: A Revolutionary Approach to Anxiety Therapy in Nashville

Another cutting-edge technique employed at Dave Saunders Counseling is brainspotting. This innovative method aims to rebalance your nervous system, decrease constant "overdrive" feelings, and process and release stored emotional stress.

Brainspotting works on the principle that "where you look affects how you feel." It harnesses the body's natural self-scanning, self-healing ability to process those experiences that have become stuck. Brainspotting provides a powerful, focused tool for treating a wide range of psychological issues by identifying, processing, and releasing deep neurophysiological sources of emotional discomfort.

With brainspotting, you're not just dealing with the symptoms of anxiety; you're getting to the root cause, offering you a path toward long-term well-being.

Discover How to Relax and Recharge Again.

My approach to anxiety therapy involves holistic, brain-based, and body-based strategies that can help us quickly identify the root of your discomfort. That means there is a high probability one or more of these proven therapies will work well for you. While no one goes through life anxiety-free, we can greatly reduce or even eliminate the excess stress.

As your therapist, I’m here to support you in your day-to-day challenges while we explore the issues that brought you to therapy in the first place. There may be sessions when you just need support for immediate stressors. In other sessions, we will tackle deeper issues.

No matter what methods I use as a therapist, you and I will decide together what work you want to do. You are the one who ultimately decides how much or how little you are willing to share.
