CBT techniques can effectively address panic and anxiety symptoms. The most common way is to do breathing exercises to help ground you. Counting and identifying things in the room also helps. Many people find positive self-talk and sensory objects helpful also. However the key to recovery is in the discovery process to identify what triggers your attacks and prevents you from speaking.

I’m sure you have concerns about the way the scar healed and looks but I have concerns about your decision to cut. Self-harming is serious. Please reach out for support.

The short answer is yes. Couples therapy can be very helpful and rewarding. However it is only effective when all parties are willing to fully participate.

Studies has been conducted to prove the effectiveness of CBT therapy with individuals who struggle with aggressive behavior. However, treatment plans and approaches can differ from client to client. There truly are no cookie-cutter methods for all clients. So, while one person may respond to CBT treatment alone, another may require additional methods (i.e., psychotropic medication) as a part of their treatment plan. Another thing to consider is that symptoms of aggressive behavior can be tied to other diagnoses. I suggest shelling an appointment with a therapist to gain a better understanding of the cause of your daughter’s aggression.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. I believe that everyone can benefit from talk therapy. However, whether or not talk therapy is more effective than medications entirely depends on the individual and their diagnosis.

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear that you are battling stress-related issues. Yes. Mental health therapy can be very effective for alleviating symptoms of stress and helping you develop coping skills to navigate the relational burdens.

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties in your marriage. Seeking counseling can offer insight and support to help guide you both towards a healthier, happier marriage. I encourage you to pursue counseling if saving your marriage is your desire. Please keep in mind that there are no guarantees. Marriage is a joint effort on both parties, you and your husband. As long as you are both honest, dedicated, and determined to commit to remaining involved in therapy fully, it is possible for your marriage to survive, thrive, and find harmony with peace regardless of the tumultuous storms you may face individually and as a unit.

Thank you for your question. Professionally speaking, a combination of antipsychotic medication and mental health counseling has proven to be most effective when treating schizophrenia or schizotypical disorders. Please keep in mind that there are no cookie-cutter approaches to treatment. The exact methods and techniques for therapy can vary from client to client. I hope this helps.

Thank you for reaching out to gain an understanding of what you are experiencing. Unfortunately, I do not diagnose in this manner. Many conditions come to mind as I read about the shifts in your mood, sleeplessness, depression, and what sounds like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I wonder what might be the deep-rooted issues that are causing your symptoms and why you distance yourself from others. I encourage you to seek counseling very soon with a therapist who can help you understand more about yourself and your strengths to overcome these issues, develop coping skills to alleviate the symptoms, and prevent them from reoccurring.

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear that you experience discomfort when flying or at the thought of flying. I applaud you for your determination to seek treatment. Phobias and fear are typically trauma-related. I suggest seeking counseling to develop coping skills to overcome your fear and discover what might be at the root of the cause.
