This group explores how codependent patterns of relating result in problems in our relationships. We explore the ways in which avoidance, denial, control, compliance, and lack of self-esteem lead to patterns of communicating that leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and those we interact with. Participants will begin to identify their personal patterns of codependence and learn ways to move toward a more authentic way of being. This group will also explore childhood experiences that may have contributed to adult ways of interacting. This group meets for weekly for twelve weeks and is capped at six participants.

The purpose of this group is to help women on their journey to healing from developed anxiety and depression symptoms associated with domestic violence. A powerful way to battle these diagnoses and acknowledge trauma is to welcome vulnerability within a group of others who connect through similar experiences. Together we will help build a safe space to share raw and authentic emotions that come with being victimized. I will be using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to bring core beliefs to the surface and help you learn about your inner child.

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.
