life’s precious moments.
Therapy for Californians who want to reclaim
their lives and enjoy the present.
Here we go.
The voice inside your head keeps telling you to take deep breaths, but it does not work.
Breathing gets more shallow. Hands begin to shake.
Your heart is beating too fast, and it feels like an elephant sat down on your chest.
Here we go again.
Another wave of anxiety slams itself into you. Filling your head with questions and doubts.
Am I going to have another panic attack?
Will people notice that I’m freaking out?
I have to get out of this room!
It’s hard to think clearly.
Worst-case scenarios crowd your mind.
I’m going to say something ridiculous during my work presentation this afternoon.
If I leave the house, I will get infected with a disease or virus that I will pass along to all my family members.
Flying on an airplane is dangerous. If I do, the plane will probably crash, and no one will rescue me.
It’s exhausting living this way.
Canceling plans again tonight because you’re anxious about saying the wrong thing at dinner.
Avoiding the freeway because you’ve convinced yourself that you’ll be involved in a car accident.
Skipping the movie because what if your stomach acts up, you get sick in public, and end up in the hospital?
It doesn’t always have to be this way.
The steps to freedom from anxiety, panic attacks, what-if questions, and worst-case scenarios begin with therapy.
With support, guidance, and practical tools, you will be able to rely on yourself to handle any situation.
Your mind and body will learn to recognize what’s happening. Then you’ll be able to reclaim your life and enjoy your present.
You’ll become your own safe zone.
