Anxiety Disorders

Did you know there are at least ten forms of anxiety?

You can read more here.

The DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) categorizes anxiety disorders into ten distinct types. Each type has unique features.

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) involves excessive worry about everyday activities, while
• Panic Disorder is marked by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks.
• Social Anxiety Disorder centers on fear of social situations and scrutiny.
• Specific Phobia encompasses intense fear of particular objects or situations.
• Agoraphobia involves fear of situations where escape might be difficult and can include everyday places like the grocery store.
• Separation Anxiety Disorder is common in children and involves distress when away from primary attachment figures.
• Selective Mutism is characterized by an inability to speak in specific social situations despite the capacity to do so elsewhere.
• Substance/Medication-Induced Anxiety Disorder arises due to effects of drug use or withdrawal.
• Anxiety Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition is linked to health issues like heart disease or hyperthyroidism. Finally,
• Other Specified and Unspecified Anxiety Disorders cover symptoms that don’t fit neatly into the other categories. These disorders still cause significant distress. Each diagnosis emphasizes how anxiety disrupts daily functioning and is ego-dystonic (doesn’t sit well, is unwanted, disruptive, or uncomfortable) to the person.

Complex Trauma

Complex trauma is distinct, especially for women. It’s not about one traumatic event, rather it involves multiple traumatic experiences over a longer period of time and can vary in severity. Many times, the roots of complex trauma are found in childhood abuse emotional, physical, or sexual abuse as well as emotional and physical neglect; it can also include medical abuse or neglect. As Dr. Gabor Maté explains, the trauma often starts before the event. It often starts with not having a safe adult to talk to about our problems when they come up. This means childhood abuse and neglect is not attuned to and the developing child can endure what is called developmental trauma. The results of carrying shame in isolation during one’s developing years can lead to can lead to chronic feelings of self-doubt, depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. Depending on the severity, sleep difficulties, nightmares, flashbacks, and various physical health challenges including unwanted weight gain and auto-immune disorders may also arise. Despite these experiences, I want you to know there is hope. You don’t have to feel this way forever! I know, because I’ve witnessed some of my clients become free from negative emotions and move on to building a healthier more hopeful life.

The Impact of Complex Trauma

Complex trauma can erode a woman’s sense of self, making her feel voiceless, worthless, and even… like trash. It can distort relationship patterns, leading to unhealthy relationships later in life. Unprocessed traumas can cause boundary confusion, making it difficult to create healthy boundaries in the future. It may also cause trauma bonding, meaning a person may be holding onto a toxic relationship, not realizing how damaging it is to them. Healthy boundaries are needed in relationships. Without addressing these issues, the ripple effects of these early traumatic experiences will persist for decades into adulthood. They will affect nearly every aspect of life, even if you are not consciously aware of it.

Symptoms of Complex Trauma

The symptoms of complex trauma are varied and pervasive. They can include:

• Emotional Distress: Persistent feelings of worthlessness, sadness, depression, anxiety, and emotional numbness.
• Cognitive Disturbances: Difficulty concentrating, memory problems, flashbacks, and negative self-perception.
• Behavioral Issues: Self-destructive behaviors like self-harm, substance abuse, difficulty maintaining healthy relationships, fear of intrusion or merger, catastrophizing, and increased argumentativeness.
• Physical Symptoms: Chronic pain often occurs in the stomach, chest, or shoulders. Gastrointestinal problems are common, as are eating disorders that usually include weight gain. Other stress-related health issues affect immune, cardio, and reproductive health.
• Sleep Disturbances: Insomnia, nightmares, sleep apnea, and fatigue.

Understanding these symptoms is the first step toward healing. Becoming educated on the impact of complex trauma provides the first level of awareness. It shows that what you endured must be dealt with.

Healing from Complex Trauma

In our work together, I draw from Diane Langberg, Ph.D., which focuses on treating complex trauma, particularly sexual abuse, in women. Dr. Langberg‘s approach emphasizes creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. This foundation is crucial for healing, allowing you to explore your experiences without fear of judgment or re-traumatization.

Building Safe Relationships

The therapeutic relationship becomes the new blueprint for relationships with safe people who respect healthy boundaries. It becomes essential in modeling a good relationship with trust. It’s a relationship that provides healing through understanding and practicing healthy relationship patterns. You can break free from the cycle of trauma and develop fulfilling connections with others outside of therapy. This is one of the ways your life starts to change for the better.

Reclaiming Your Voice

Complex trauma often leaves women feeling voiceless and powerless. One of the aspects of therapy is helping you reclaim your voice. This involves:

• Recognizing Your Worth: Understanding that your experiences do not define your value. You are worthy of love, respect, and kindness.
• Expressing Your Needs: Learning to articulate your needs and desires in healthy ways.
• Setting Boundaries: Establishing and maintaining boundaries that protect your emotional and physical well-being.

You can regain control over your life by reclaiming your voice. This process helps you start to heal from the wounds of the past. Some of my clients find their voice again through writing poetry. Others find it through journaling. Some discover it by expressing themselves freely in the therapy room.

The Role of Self-Compassion

Self-compassion is a powerful tool in the healing process. It involves treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a close friend. Self-compassion can help you:

• Reduce Self-Criticism: Replace negative self-talk with supportive and affirming thoughts.
• Improve Emotional Resilience: Build the emotional strength to cope with healing challenges.
• Foster Self-Acceptance: Embrace your imperfections and recognize your inherent worth.
• Incorporating self-compassion into daily life can significantly enhance your healing journey Dr. Kristin Neff.

The Role of Neuroplasticity

Neuroplasticity plays an important role in trauma and anxiety healing. The brain is neuroplastic, meaning it is always changing, brain cells are constantly dying off and being replaced by new ones. We get a new brain, so to speak, every six to twelve months. The plastic or moldability of the brain, allows it to reorganize and form new neural connections in response to healthier experiences.

Therapy is one way that the brain learns to reorganize itself. Both through interpersonal neurobiology (the exchange of therapist brain’s information with the patient brain) and neuroplasticity, the brain organically moves towards organization. This means that maladaptive emotional learnings from childhood trauma, can be addressed and changed. The brain can learn to process new information differently, not relying on the former trauma brain anymore. This adaptability aside from being hopeful and awesome, also supports recovery. It enables new, healthier ways of processing memories. It also helps in managing anxiety. These changes ultimately foster resilience and lead to lasting change.

Therapeutic Techniques for Healing

As your counselor, I am committed to listening attentively and bearing witness to your experiences. I will provide validation, empathy, and understanding. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to support your healing, including:

Affective Neuroscience-Based Healing for Anxiety

Affective neuroscience is a therpeautic modality that houses over 35 other therapuetic modalities, and focuses on the value of healthy relationships and meta-processing to heal your brain. This style helps clients overcome anxiety, learn boundaries, and address complex trauma origins. What is wonderful about my experience as a therapist, is that I know this is not just theoretical, but something that actually works and is transformative for clients in application.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Techniques include:

• Cognitive Restructuring: Challenging and reframing negative thoughts.
• Exposure Therapy: Gradually confronting and desensitizing to trauma-related triggers.
• Skills Training: Developing coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety (see a review of some of these skills I teach on my blog).

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach. It helps individuals manage intense emotions, particularly distress. It also all people develop healthy coping strategies and improve relationships. DBT was initially developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan to treat borderline personality disorder, but since then has proven effective for a wide range of mental health issues, including complex trauma. Key principles include:

• Mindfulness: Practicing mindfulness helps you stay present in the moment and observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
• Emotion Regulation: Understanding and managing your emotions reduces emotional vulnerability and helps you respond more effectively to situations.
• Distress Tolerance: Developing skills to tolerate and survive crises without resorting to harmful behaviors or substance use. Techniques include self-soothing, distraction, and radical acceptance.
• Interpersonal Effectiveness: Improving your communication and relationship skills helps you assert your needs, set boundaries, and build healthy connections.

DBT typically combines individual therapy sessions with skills training groups, providing a comprehensive approach to treatment. The therapy focuses on balancing acceptance and change, helping you accept yourself as you are while working towards positive changes. Through DBT, you can develop a toolkit of skills to navigate life’s challenges. It helps reduce emotional suffering and enhances your overall quality of life. In my work, I teach you how to shift your mood. I help you move into a more positive states based on the principles of DBT.

Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing focuses on the connection between mind and body. Techniques include:

• Body Awareness: Recognizing and addressing physical sensations related to trauma.
• Self-Regulation or Emotional Regulation: Developing skills to manage physical and emotional responses to stress.

Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Mindfulness and relaxation techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help you stay present and grounded. IFS, developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, is a therapeutic model that views the mind as made up of different “parts,” each with its own feelings, beliefs, and roles. IFS helps people access their compassionate core “Self” to heal wounded parts, release burdens, and restore inner harmony. Practices include:

• Parts mapping – identifying and describing the various parts inside you (protectors, exiles, firefighters) and their roles.
• Unblending – stepping back from a part so you can see it without being taken over by it.
• Direct dialogue with parts – internally asking a part about its feelings, fears, and needs.
• Witnessing – compassionately listening to a part’s story without judgment.
• Retrieval – helping wounded “exile” parts leave the past and come into the present.
• Unburdening – guiding a part to release heavy beliefs, emotions, or energies it’s been carrying.
• Self-to-part connection – cultivating the eight “C’s” of Self-energy (curiosity, calm, clarity, compassion, confidence, courage, creativity, connectedness).

Polyvagal Theory (PVT) in Therapy

Polyvagal Theory (PVT) in therapy is centered around understanding how the nervous system affects your emotions and behavior. This approach, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, emphasizes the vagus nerve’s role in regulating stress responses and fostering feelings of safety and connection. Key principles include:

• Understanding the Nervous System: Recognizing how your body’s physiological states influence your emotions and reactions to stress.
• Safety and Connection: Creating a therapeutic environment that promotes safety is crucial for healing and social engagement.
• Regulation Techniques: Learning techniques to regulate your nervous system, like deep breathing, mindfulness, and grounding exercises.
• State Shifting: Like DBT, recognize different nervous system states. These include social engagement, fight-or-flight, and shutdown. Shift between them to achieve a balanced and regulated state.

PVT helps you understand your biological reactions to stress and trauma. It empowers you to develop strategies to implement to calm your nervous system, enhance emotional regulation, and improve overall well-being. This approach builds resilience and helps you build meaningful social connections.

Creating a Safe and Empathic Environment

Creating a safe and empathic environment with clear boundaries is crucial for your healing journey. This environment enables you to develop inner strength and reclaim a sense of empowerment. As your therapist, I am committed to:

• Providing Unconditional Positive Regard: Accepting and valuing yourself without judgment (see Carl Rogers or Rogerian Therapy).
• Offering Empathy: Understanding and sharing your feelings and experiences.
• Maintaining Confidentiality: Ensuring your privacy and patient health identifiers are always protected.

The Power of Hope

Despite the challenges of complex trauma, I want you to know there is hope. Healing is possible, and a healthy sense of empowerment can be regained. Through therapy, you can

• Rebuild Your Identity: Develop a cohesive and positive sense of self. This is very important to those who have endured what is called “developmental trauma.”
• Improve Relationships: Create and keep healthy, fulfilling relationships.
• Enhance Emotional Well-Being: Experience emotional stability and build resilience.
• Achieve Personal Goals: Pursue your dreams and aspirations with the confidence that you can succeed at attaining your goals.

Community

Also, healing from complex trauma is not a journey that you have to undertake alone. In Montana and Florida, there are various community resources and support groups available to help you:

• Support Groups: Joining a support group can offer a sense of community and shared understanding.
• Workshops and Seminars: Participating in educational events can enhance your knowledge and skills for managing trauma.
• Community Services: Local organizations offer extra resources and services to support your healing.

Taking the first step toward healing can be daunting, because it can be uncomfortable to share deeply personal stuff with someone you don’t know that well, but it is also incredibly rewarding. Here are some steps you can take to begin your journey:

Set Realistic Goals: Ask your therapist how she anticipates treatment will take given your therapeutic goals.

Be Engaged in the Process: The more clients are engaged in the process, the better their therapeutic outcomes, so bring a notebook! Take notes or journal in between sessions. Come prepared with topics and questions. Be willing to read and listen to recommended books and podcasts.

Determine the Right Fit: For example, does your therapist specialize in the disorder you need help treating or is it far off base? Does your personality click well with theirs? If the answer to those questions is no, keep shopping! It’s okay to be choosy with your medical providers.

Practice Self-Care: Therapy can be a wild ride. Sometimes you will leave sessions crying, sometimes you will leave laughing. Some days you will leave needing a few more hours of personal contemplation and other days, you’ll… just go about your day. Knowing how to flow with the changes and be gentle with yourself in the process is incredibly helpful. Keep this in mind when scheduling sessions.

Healing from complex trauma is a long-term commitment and it sometimes lasts many years. Nonetheless, it is a journey worth undertaking. As your therapist, I am dedicated to walking alongside you every step of the way. Together, we can:

• Explore Your Past: Understand how your experiences have shaped you and address unresolved trauma.
• Navigate the Present: Develop strategies for managing current challenges and stressors.
• Build a Future: Make plans for your future that include hope, purpose, perseverance, resilience, and fulfillment.

If you like what you’ve read here, but you are wanting to address something outside of my scope of practice, you can still feel free to reach out and ask for a referral. Many of my colleagues specialize in other topics like Equine Therapy, Couples Therapy, or OCD. I might have a good name to give you as they can offer the specific assistance you need.

I am dedicated to helping my clients heal on a deeply profound level. I also encourage your growth so you can feel freer, lighter, and more hopeful as you make plans for the future.

Adjunctive & Personalized Therapies

In our sessions, we’ll explore a range of additional therapies designed just for you, including:

Journaling

Have you ever felt like your thoughts are racing, leaving you overwhelmed and unsure where to start? Journaling might be the answer you’re looking for. It’s a simple yet powerful tool that can help you manage anxiety, creating a safe space to process your thoughts and emotions.

Writing down your thoughts is a way to “download” your worries onto paper, as Dr. Daniel Amen explains. Move your anxious thoughts from your head to a journal. This action frees up mental space and loosens their grip on you. Suddenly, the worries that seemed so consuming begin to feel more manageable.

Journaling doesn’t just help you release thoughts—it gives you the clarity you need to see them for what they are. When you write your feelings down, you create a moment of pause. This allows you to step back. You can then examine what’s going on. You may notice patterns, identify triggers, or realize that some of your fears aren’t as big as they seemed. This grounded perspective can help you challenge your worries, replacing unhelpful thoughts with more constructive ones.

Think of journaling as a conversation with yourself. It’s a way to give your inner voice a platform without judgment. You don’t have to worry about how your words sound or whether anyone else will understand—they’re just for you. In this space, you can honestly express what’s on your mind, which can feel incredibly freeing. Over time, journaling can become a ritual, offering you a moment of calm in your day where you focus on you and your needs.

One of the most significant benefits of journaling is the sense of control it gives you over your emotions. Anxiety often thrives on uncertainty and a lack of control. When you journal, you take an active step toward understanding your feelings. You also start addressing them. This can make a big difference in how you experience them. Instead of feeling like anxiety is happening to you, you start to feel like you’re the one in charge.

You don’t need to be a skilled writer. You also don’t need to spend hours crafting the perfect entry. You can still see the benefits of journaling. Start small—try setting aside five or ten minutes a day to jot down whatever comes to mind. You can explore questions like:

• What’s on my mind right now?
• What am I feeling, and why?
• What’s one small step I can take to feel better?

Over time, these moments of reflection can help you build greater self-awareness and resilience. You might even find that journaling becomes something you look forward to and a way to release tension and connect with yourself.

So why not give it a try? Your journal can become a trusted companion, helping you work through your anxieties and move closer to a sense of peace and balance. Take a moment today to grab a notebook and start writing!

Bibliotherapy

Books can offer more than entertainment—they can provide insights that support your healing. Bibliotherapy, the use of literature as a therapeutic tool, gives you an opportunity to engage with stories and information in a way that fosters self-discovery and emotional growth. Whether it’s a novel, poetry, a memoir, or educational text, the right book can resonate with your experiences and help you see your challenges from a fresh perspective.

By immersing yourself in stories, you can connect with characters who face struggles and develop resilience. These narratives can be comforting and relatable, giving you examples of strength and growth that feel applicable to your own life. Seeing challenges through someone else’s eyes can spark new ideas and inspire changes in how you approach your own circumstances.

Bibliotherapy also goes beyond stories. It incorporates psychoeducation, helping you understand your emotions and develop practical skills for personal growth. This might mean learning about the mechanics of anxiety, recognizing unhelpful thought patterns, or exploring strategies for building healthy relationships. The more you engage with these resources, the better equipped you are to work through challenges with confidence and clarity.

When you make time for bibliotherapy, you’re creating space for reflection and self-awareness. Reading becomes more than an activity. It becomes a way to explore your thoughts and feelings. It’s an invitation to consider what resonates with you and reflect on what lessons stand out. Think about how you can apply them in your daily life.

This approach also enhances the work you do in therapy sessions. By engaging with thoughtfully recommended books between appointments, you’re reinforcing the progress you’re making and preparing yourself for deeper discussions. Investing in your growth this way can lead to greater self-understanding and lasting change.

Movement Therapy

Movement offers you a practical way to ease anxiety and depression while strengthening the connection between your body and mind. Intentional physical activity—such as stretching, walking, or yoga—doesn’t just benefit your physical health; it also nurtures your brain health and emotional well-being. By integrating movement into your daily life, you can create positive shifts in your mood, energy levels, and overall mental resilience.

Stress often takes a toll on both your mind and body, leaving you feeling tense and disconnected. Movement can help release this tension. Simple activities, like taking a mindful walk or practicing gentle stretches, help regulate your nervous system and lower stress hormones like cortisol. These moments of intentional movement give you a chance to pause, breathe, and reset, breaking the cycle of overwhelm.

Incorporating movement into your routine doesn’t have to mean intense exercise. It’s about finding what works for you. These small acts of care can make a significant difference. It could be a quiet morning walk. It might be an expressive dance session or even a few minutes of stretching before bed. Regular physical activity boosts endorphins, those “feel-good” chemicals in your brain. This helps to lift your mood and creates a sense of calm.

Beyond the immediate emotional benefits, movement can also help you feel more grounded and connected to your body. When you’re dealing with anxiety or depression, it’s easy to feel stuck or trapped in your thoughts, and sometimes even thrown. Engaging in movement shifts your focus back to the present moment, providing a tangible way to release pent-up emotions and reconnect with yourself.

Studies, including those from institutions like Harvard University, highlight the long-term mental health benefits of consistent movement. It improves your mood, enhances cognitive function, and reduces the likelihood of future emotional setbacks. Over time, even simple practices can build a foundation of emotional strength and resilience.

Embrace movement techniques as part of your mental health toolkit. This gives you an opportunity to take an active role in your healing. Each step, stretch, or mindful moment is a way to care for your emotional well-being. It helps you feel more balanced and in control.

If you’re ready to explore how movement can support your mental health, start with small, manageable changes. You’ll be surprised at how well it works. To find out more, click to read the articles below.

Health and Nutrition

You might not realize it, but what you eat plays a major role in how you feel—not just physically but mentally too. The nutrients you consume affect your brain’s ability to function and your overall emotional stability. If you’re feeling stressed, sluggish, or anxious, your plate could be the root of the problem.

Why Real Food Matters

Forget “dieting.” Eating healthy isn’t about calorie-counting or denying yourself the foods you love. It’s about returning to the basics—eating real, whole foods the way our bodies were designed to. That means focusing on:

• Proteins: Think eggs, fish, chicken, beans, or tofu. These powerhouses help produce neurotransmitters that regulate your mood and keep you sharp.
• Fruits and Vegetables: Nature’s gift to your body. These foods are packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, which protect your brain and keep stress in check.
• Healthy Fats: Nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil feed your brain the energy it needs to work effectively.

By shifting your mindset from “dieting” to eating real food in reasonable portions, you fuel your body with everything it needs to support your mental health.

How Nutrition Affects Your Mood

The brain requires a steady supply of nutrients to produce the chemicals that help you feel good. When you fill your diet with junk food or rely on processed snacks, you disrupt that balance. Here’s how real food can transform your mental health:

1. Boost Energy Levels: Proteins and complex carbs keep you energized and prevent mood swings caused by sugar crashes.
2. Support Brain Function: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and walnuts can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
3. Reduce Inflammation: Vegetables like spinach and broccoli combat inflammation, which is linked to stress and depression.
4. Improve Sleep: Magnesium-rich foods like bananas and almonds help you rest better, which in turn improves mood.

Tips for Starting Your Real Food Journey

• Plan Your Meals: Focus on including lean proteins, colorful fruits and veggies, and healthy fats at every meal. Consider sourcing your fish proteins from a company like Wild Alaska Company.
• Snack Smart: Swap chips and cookies for fresh fruits, nuts, or yogurt.
• Keep It Simple: Don’t overcomplicate things. A grilled chicken breast with a side of steamed veggies and a drizzle of olive oil is all you need.
• Hydrate: Water is just as important for mental clarity as the food you eat.
• Practice Portion Control: Eating what your body needs (and stopping when full) will keep you satisfied without feeling restricted.

Herbal Medicines to Support Calmer Feelings

Saffron

Saffron, a spice derived from the Crocus sativus flower, has been shown in research to have mood-boosting properties. These properties are comparable to some antidepressants. This is particularly true for mild to moderate depression. Its active compounds, such as crocin and safranal, may help regulate serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in the brain. Studies also suggest saffron can support emotional well-being by reducing symptoms of anxiety and enhancing overall mood stability.

California Poppy

California poppy tincture, made from Eschscholzia californica, is often used as a gentle herbal remedy to promote relaxation and ease mild anxiety or sleep disturbances. Its alkaloids act on the nervous system to help calm overactive thoughts without the addictive potential of stronger sedatives. It’s commonly taken in the evening to support restful sleep and a sense of emotional balance and may be useful in the treatment of anxiety and complex trauma or insomnia.

Kava

Kava (Piper methysticum) is a root traditionally used in Pacific Island cultures for its calming and anxiety-reducing effects. Its active compounds, kavalactones, act on GABA receptors in the brain, promoting relaxation without significantly impairing cognitive function. Some research suggests kava may reduce generalized anxiety symptoms, but caution is advised due to rare reports of liver toxicity with certain preparations or long-term use.

Lavender

Lavender is well-known for its calming and soothing properties. It can help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote better sleep quality. Additionally, lavender’s natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects support overall relaxation and healing in both the mind and body. Many of lavender’s positive effects have been clinically proven.

The Real Reward: A Healthier Mindset

When you nourish your body with wholesome foods, you’re not just feeding your stomach—you’re feeding your mind. The result? A clearer, calmer, and more focused you. Eating this way isn’t a chore or a punishment—it’s an act of self-care and respect for your mental well-being.

You deserve to feel your best, and it all starts with what you put on your plate. Choose real food, not dieting, and watch your mental health flourish.

Mindfulness Skills Training

In the chaos of everyday life, it’s easy to lose touch with what truly matters—your well-being. Mindfulness invites you to reconnect with the present moment, offering you a sanctuary of calm amidst the noise. It’s not about perfection; it’s about presence. You deserve to feel grounded, balanced, and fully alive.

Testimonials:

“Having worked with my fair share of professional mental health providers across different continents (don’t ask) – I can honestly say Molly is one of the most genuinely caring, open-minded and intelligent counsellors I’ve come across. For me personally a defining moment was when she asked me a question that gave me a completely different perspective on my situation. That showed me she has a clear skill in observation while leaving me in control of my situation. It was exactly what I needed on that moment.”
