Midlife Refocusing guides a person towards the art of embracing a "new" meaningful goal for one's life. Midlife is often the point when a person takes control of their story. Early in our lives, we live according to what has been given to us by our society and family. That meaning of life became the story you have been supporting for the first half of your life. When an adult takes control of their life's story, they get to re-address the purpose/meaning of their life. This is the beginning of the inner journey!

Parenting is challenging at any level; being aware of our feelings and yet being aware of our child's feelings goes a long way in successful relationship. Goal is of self awareness, other awareness, and bringing the insight of awareness in the present moment. This helps us in being pro-active rather than reactive, and prevents outbursts that might happen at times, simply leading to a healthy approach of creating a safe space to share.

If you're feeling lonely, overwhelmed, scared, angry, worried, or some mix of everything and nothing...about all of the things going on in the world, you are not alone. You're actually having a very reasonable response to things going on right now. It feels out of control, it feels heavy, it feels awful.

Anxiety Support Groups
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
