No matter how much you learn, you still lack confidence. This lack of confidence is experienced as a blank mind when you need it the most, and this sends you spiraling into despair, only making things worse. The next time you experience this, soothe yourself by considering these four questions: 1. When you think of the situation that makes you anxious, what image do you conjure up?

In addition to providing traditional talk therapy, I specialize in somatic and nervous-system oriented therapy. My form of body-centered psychotherapy involves tapping into the body’s own wisdom, combining emotional experiences with the body’s muscular and physiological responses to produce change. Research shows that traumatic stress has little to do with cognition—it emanates from the emotional part of the brain, which is accessed through the body. I have spent 15+ years studying and applying...

Our experiences mold us in various ways. If I were to imagine a plant that captures what happens to many of us when faced with challenging and persistent experiences, the CACTUS comes to mind. Like the CACTUS, we develop tougher skin and spikes to protect ourselves from problematic situations. When not processed correctly, the development of these characteristics may detract attention from the other powerful properties we possess. For some, the CACTUS may be the least appealing plant. When given...
