Often times anxiety can be an unwanted emotion, plaguing our lives with pain and suffering. This should not happen. Anxiety is designed to protect or guide us in specific situations. The problem occurs when your brain learns to fear anxiety and the physical sensations that come with it. Each time anxiety is viewed as a threat, your brain confirms that it is a scary and unwanted emotion. Let a trained clinician at Salt City Mental Health teach you how to manage your anxiety and learn that the perceived threat is generally safe.
Learn to manage your anxiety.
Dustin Hall, LCSW, is a therapist for anxiety in Bountiful, Utah, and has specialized in treating anxiety for the last six years. Your clinician will assist you in managing your anxiety through the application of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and other supporting treatments. When working with your therapist, a behavioral approach will be used to assist in effectively managing your anxiety. Although standard talk therapy will be a part of your session, talk therapy alone does not work when treating anxiety.
