THERAPY ROOTED IN THE SCIENCE OF PSYCHOLOGY AND AN INDIGENOUS LENS
YOU KNOW THIS FEELING
What anxiety actually feels like
Your mind won't switch off
It's a pro at overanalyzing. It plays out
every possible scenario, then forecasts the worst one without missing a beat.
You stop doing what you love
You cancel plans at the last minute. Not
because you don't care, but because your mind is racing and going feels like too much.
Your body is on high alert
A racing heart, a tight chest, tense
shoulders, a breath you can't quite catch,
even when nothing is technically wrong.
“
Anxiety is your mind trying to protect you. It's a signal worth
listening to, not something to push through.
THE WHOLE PICTURE
Signs your anxiety needs attention
Anxiety shows up differently for everyone. We look at all of you:
mind, body, spirit and how you're living day to day.
Emotional
Feeling uneasy, irritable, fearful, restless or out of control. Moments of panic.
Mental
Constant worry, racing thoughts, overthinking, and needing reassurance.
Physical
Headaches, racing heart, tense muscles, stomach aches, and exhaustion.
Spiritual
No time to breathe, slow down or do the things that ground you.
Behavioural
Trouble sleeping, changes in eating, avoiding people, places, or tasks.
WHY CULTURE MATTERS
Anxiety doesn't happen in a
vacuum.
For a lot of us, anxiety carries extra weight: being the only Indigenous person in the room, racism at work or in the health care system, carrying your family and community with you, and the pressure to prove you belong. Add intergenerational trauma, and it makes sense that your nervous system is on high alert.
You shouldn't have to explain colonization, residential schools or the Sixties Scoop before you can get to what brought you in.
