What You Get From Anxiety Therapy In Frederick

By Della Monroe

There are a lot of people to help with various psychological disorders that may crop up and which you are having a problem with. It is important to deal with these straight away, otherwise they can play on your mind and they will just become worse. Anxiety is one of the most common disorders that can leave you not knowing where to turn. However, anxiety therapy in Frederick is a place that specializes in this sort of thing that can bring some form of relief.

Cognitive behaviour therapy is also something that has helped a lot of patients over the years. These therapists are trained especially for this sort of method. It can especially help those who are suffering from generalized anxiety disorder and tend to worry about everything in life. They will have negative thoughts running through their mind.

Many people suffer from social anxiety disorder in Frederick MD. This can be crippling when you are out in public and trying to socialize with others. You become self conscious and embarrassed because you feel you are going to make a fool of yourself. You may suffer from various symptoms, such as starting to sweat or you may freeze up.

Group therapy in Frederick MD is one of the methods that has been successful over the last couple of years and many people have gained much value from this. It is where a lot of people learn to connect with one another and build meaningful relationships. This is achieved based on hearing what others have to say.

Group therapy in Frederick MD is also something to think about because this is where patients are able to connect and build relationships with one another. It makes them feel as if they are not alone and isolated, which is never a nice feeling. There are groups that specialize in this and members will share what they are going through which helps others to feel compassion as well as a level of identification as time goes by.

In severe cases, where there is a lot of anxiety and for those who have suffered from a lot of trauma in their lives, they will break out with forms of dissociation. This can also be difficult to cope with because there is no medication that can help cure this. A psychologist can help assist someone who is dealing with trauma by talking about it.

Of course, therapists work in different ways during the sessions. This depends on their training and the patient as well as the disorder that they are dealing with. They may take the more casual approach or they may like to set goals. This will depend on their style to therapy and their success rate.

There are clients who enjoy sticking to goals. This is because they have a chance to see how far they have come in the process and what they still need to do in order to reach certain aspects in their life. One needs to analyze your sessions to make sure you are getting the most out of them. It is not just about going to someone in order to have a casual chat.

Welcome Bridget Frederick Our New Editor!

I’m excited to announce that Bridget Frederick has joined the staff of Yoga for Healthy Aging as a copyeditor and proofreader! Yeah, I admit it: I’ve been a bit sloppy in the past. Early on I made a conscious decision that while I would quickly edit each post for clarity and tone before I publish it, sometimes even doing a bit of a rewrite, that I wasn’t going to take the time to pour over each one for typos. And then there was the problem of the posts that I was writing myself; I had no one to edit those. So I had a pretty good idea that those typos were there, maybe even hurting the eyes of some of our more meticulous readers. So when Bridget, who is both a writer/editor and a yoga teacher, offered us her services, I jumped at the chance.

After a couple of weeks of trial, I decided to announce to everyone that Bridget was now on board and to let her tell you, via an interview, a little about who she is and why she decided to join us. I want to warn you, however, that she isn’t always able to edit the posts before they go out (as you might imagine, we have a pretty short turnaround time). While she is sometimes able to edit the draft version of the post before it is published, there are times when I publish the post first and she updates it later. I’m telling you this so you can blame ME, not her, if you see any errors in future posts.

And now let’s find out a little about Bridget —Nina

Nina: Why did you decide to offer us your services as a copyeditor and proofreader?

Bridget: The Yoga for Healthy Aging blog came out several months after I started teaching yoga, and I began reading it regularly, getting a lot out of the great insights. I teach at the North Berkeley Senior Center on Monday mornings—many of my students there either haven’t paid much attention to aging in a healthy way until now, or are just dealing with complications as they age.

And I’ve got longevity in my family. I had three great-grandparents when I was born, and they all lived through my entire childhood. The last one passed when I was 23—he was 99. Watching my two grandmothers age has shown me that living long is less pleasurable if you don’t have a healthy body to take along for the ride. The grandmother who will turn 93 this year has always had a daily exercise routine—she is still driving herself to the gym every weekday for her water aerobics class. On the other hand, my 87-year-old grandmother lived most of her life with little or no daily exercise, and has been incapacitated in a nursing home for the last seven years.

So that’s why I was interested in reading the blog. But I offered to edit it because I know it takes a lot of time to maintain a good, productive blog. Another pair of eyes to make sure it flows well can be helpful, and I’m happy that my skill set enables me to participate in this way.

Nina: Can you tell us a bit about your yoga background and your yoga practice?

Bridget: I started doing yoga in 2002, shortly after I was rear-ended while stopped at a red light. The whiplash I experienced was exacerbated by previous car accidents as well as three over-the-handlebars bike accidents—none of which I’d ever had treatment for. This time I found my way to a chiropractor, who recommended I try yoga. Well, she actually recommended Bikram yoga, but I went to the Berkeley Yoga Room instead, and have had a regular practice there ever since. The Iyengar-style focus on alignment and core strength, as well as the gentle approach of all of the Yoga Room teachers, was just what I needed to gain confidence in yoga’s ability to heal what ails me.

I completed the Yoga Room’s Advanced Studies Program in 2011. Presently I teach seven classes/week, have a regular home practice, and continue studying with my Yoga Room mentors.

Nina: Tell us something about your writing and editing background.

Bridget: I started editing in college, typing and editing other students’ papers in exchange for grocery money. While working at the Julia Morgan Center for the Arts, I wrote articles for the newsletter, and wrote and edited website content as well as creating contracts for use of the space. In all of my independent production work, I’ve been the writer and/or editor of content for all outreach and production documents, grant proposals and bios. My work as a Grant Manager is all about details – editing narratives is the start of many levels of detail in getting a proposal ready for submission. I also write and perform my own solo work, which is more about storytelling, but there’s a huge editing process involved before a piece is ready for the stage.

Nina: Is there anything else you’d like to tell our readers?

Bridget: I’m completely bicycle dependent—have been for five years. I’m getting better at hauling cargo, as well as layering for the changeable weather the Bay Area is known for. I generally ride 60-100 miles each week just getting myself where I need to be. It’s nice to have aerobic exercise built right into my commute time.

Eight years ago, I created a monthly solo performance series called Tell it on Tuesday with my friend Rebecca Fisher, and we still co-produce it together. I’ve written four of my own short works and am currently working on a fifth, to be performed in April.

I like to sew—mostly bags and cards— recently I've been more interested in altering clothing, or using the fabric from an item of clothing to create something totally different. I don’t like to plan it out, so sometimes it works great and sometimes not so much. But when it doesn’t work, there’s always a chance to re-purpose the material again!

And I make sauerkraut. Want to try some?
