Anxiety
/“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
Do you struggle to make decisions?
Do you second-guess yourself?
Do you prefer when others make decisions for you?
Do you feel afraid?
Do you find yourself always worrying, fretting, or avoiding?
Do you experience ritualized behaviour or panic attacks?
The above are symptoms of Anxiety. This is the way the body informs us to “be alert” and become aware. Often, the immediate reaction is to get the feeling of anxiety to go away, and alcohol or drugs may be used to subdue the anxious feelings.
Anxiety disorders are a leading mental health concern and affect every area of a person’s life. Approximately 4% of the global population is affected by anxiety disorders.
When left unaddressed, anxiety can escalate into more severe mental health issues, such as panic attacks. Individuals struggling with anxiety may also experience symptoms of depression, as these two mental health conditions often overlap and share common features. Anxiety tends to manifest as a heightened state of worry and overthinking, keeping the person constantly on edge — concerned about making the wrong decision or taking the wrong step. In contrast, depression can create a sense of hopelessness or emotional paralysis, where a person may feel that life cannot or will not improve, leading them to question the point of making any choices at all.
Both anxiety and depression significantly impact one’s mental health. They have similar cognitive and physical symptoms, such as: indecisiveness, difficulty concentrating, nausea, gastrointestinal issues, disordered eating patterns, unexplained aches and pains, headaches, and disrupted sleep cycles.
Understanding the complex relationship between anxiety and depression is a key step in improving mental health and developing effective, personalized strategies for healing and resilience.
At CPEB, we use a combined approach of psychotherapy and emotional bodywork to address anxiety symptoms. Emotional bodywork helps clients recognize how they physically store anxious emotions. By gaining insight into their unique mind-body connection, individuals can begin to notice their automatic Reactions, consciously choose new Responses, and ultimately create the Resolves and Results they desire in their lives.

Relaxation & Visualization is a deeply relaxing and restorative practice with many health benefits.
Relaxation and visualization help individuals become aware of stress and concerns, gently releasing them through guided meditation. This process gradually brings deeper levels of calm throughout the entire body. As a result, the body lets go of patterns of tension, allowing for a complete and profound relaxation of both mind and body.
