Anxiety Disorders

Everyone experiences life’s stresses from time to time. Meeting deadlines, raising kids, or driving in heavy traffic are three examples of situations in which normal anxious feelings can occur. While mild anxiety helps us remain alert and focused in challenging situations, anxiety disorders cause just the opposite. Severe distress over a period of time can keep you from having a life at all. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States. An estimated 19 million American adults are affected by anxiety disorders each year. This is not about being a ‘worry wart’ or being ‘stressed out.’ This requires professional care.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder – Excessive anxiety and worry about everyday life activities that occur more days than not for at least six months. The anxiety and worry are associated with at least three of the following six symptoms: restlessness, easily fatigued, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Recurrent and persistent thoughts or behaviors that seem impossible to control. Obsessions are thoughts that are experienced as intrusive and inappropriate and cause marked anxiety or distress. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors (e.g. hand washing, ordering, checking) or mental acts (e.g. praying, counting, repeating words silently) that the person feels driven to perform

Panic Disorder

Repeated episodes of intense fear or discomfort develop abruptly and peak within ten minutes. Symptoms often include heart palpitations, trembling, sweating, shortness of breath, dizziness, fear of dying, abdominal distress, and chest pain. Living with panic disorder is extremely difficult because the individual is always in a constant state of anxiety waiting for the next episode thus limiting their ability to lead a productive life.

Self-Esteem Issues

People who suffer from poor self-esteem are limited in every area of life. They generally believe they are useless, stupid, and inferior to others. Because they see themselves as failures and unworthy of success and happiness, they rarely experience fulfillment and happiness in their lives. Many people with poor self-esteem suffer from childhood experiences that have reinforced feelings of unworthy and negativity.

Depression

Everyone feels sad or “down” on occasion. Most people grieve when major life events such as death, divorce, illness, or loss of job occurs. These feelings tend to lessen as time passes. Depression, however, occurs when despair or extreme sadness are present for two weeks or longer and interfere with everyday living such as work, sleep, eating, or pleasure.

Clinical Depression is an illness and not a character flaw or weakness. Unfortunately, many people have the misconception that depressed people are weak, failures, or simply don’t try hard enough. A surprising number also believe that the depressed person can just “snap out of it.” On the other hand, some clinically depressed individuals blame others for their disorder, such as parents, society, or God. This desire to blame others is similar to the weakness mentioned above. The only difference is that blame is projected outward rather than inward.

There are three major factors that contribute to the development of depression:

• Chemical and/or psychological
• Genetic
• Environmental

Research indicates that depression is associated with an imbalance that leads to a variety of symptoms that affect the whole body, including physical symptoms, moods, and thoughts. The following list of symptoms can occur in depression: down mood, lack of interest or pleasure, weight gain or loss, too much or too little sleep, abnormal restlessness or drop in physical activity, fatigue, difficulty thinking, concentrating, or making decisions, negative self-talk, feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, thoughts of harming oneself.

Depression affects over 19 million Americans each year and less than half seek treatment. The good news is that depression is highly treatable.

Stress Management

Stress is an important protective emotion. When the brain recognizes a dangerous situation it sends signals to the adrenal glands thus releasing adrenaline. This increase in adrenaline raises blood sugar and other physiologic responses allowing the person to react to the danger. Once the danger is past the brain turns off the flee signals and the body physiology returns to normal.

Stress becomes a problem when it continues for long periods of time thus becoming a chronic situation. Evidence shows that chronic stress weakens the immune situation, is a contributing cause of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, anxiety, and depression.

Imago Relationship Therapy

Imago Relationship Therapy is a systematic approach to marital and relationship issues. Developed by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D., Imago therapy is a synthesis of pivotal aspects of other well-known theories. A few of those theories are Object Relations, Gestalt Systems, Cognitive Behavioral, and Humanistic. Their books on Imago Relationship Therapy, Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples; Keeping the Love You Find: A Personal Guide; Giving the Love That Heals: A Guide for Parents; and three companion books on meditation and exercises, have sold more than two million copies and have been translated into more than 50 languages.

Imago is the Latin word for “image”. Dr. Hendrix maintains that: (a) we are born into relationship; (b) as children, we were wounded in relationship; and therefore (c) as adults, healing of these wounds can take place in relationship. Imago theory states that at a very young age our brain forms a composite picture of both the positive and negative characteristics of our major caregivers.

On an unconscious level, we are attracted to an individual who holds these same traits. Initially, we believe this person is “the one” who will meet all our unmet needs from childhood. In the romantic phase, we tend to see only those positive traits in our partner. What many couples don’t understand is that the romantic phase is supposed to end. And, when it does, it seems that our partner is only interested in meeting his/her own needs and that ours will go unmet.

This new phase is known as the Power Struggle. While in the power struggle, our partner’s negative traits appear to predominate in our relationship, and thus recreates (or triggers) our wounds from childhood. The Power Struggle phase is full of criticism, bitterness, anger, and disillusionment. Many couples separate or divorce before finding resolution. Unfortunately, these couples do not realize that their partner holds the blueprint to healing. According to Dr. Hendrix, the purpose of a committed relationship is to finish childhood.

Imago Relationship Therapy provides such an avenue: a safe and secure way for couples to move from an “unconscious” relationship to a “conscious and intentional” one. Couples, however, must have the proper tools in order to make this paradigm shift in their relationship. Imago’s intentional dialogue is one of many tools taught to couples desiring to find the path of real love. Reality love blossoms when their relationship becomes conscious and intentional.
