-Anxiety Therapy
Anxiety is a basic human emotion that has helped humans to survive but when it’s excessive, it becomes debilitating and detrimental to our health. Anxiety sometimes is not just in our mind but also manifested physically in the body. Not all anxiety is excessive worry, sometimes it’s just that body hurts, the stomach and head hurts, we have trouble sitting still, feel restless, can’t sleep, can’t concentrate, etc. Sometimes it’s a very physical experience, so at Nafs Healing we utilize body-oriented approaches to reduce anxiety by regulating the nervous system and also cognitive therapies to reinforce flexible and rational thinking.
