Ears and Anxiety
Are you tired of living in fear of when the next trigger will be? Is avoiding your triggers affecting your peace, relationships, and career? Whether it’s ear ringing (tinnitus), loud sounds (Hyperacusis), or dizziness (Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness), ear-based disorders can create an anxiety loop. You’re feeling anxious about the ear symptom and the ear symptoms are also causing the anxiety creating a harmful feedback loop.
In addition to your existing treatment with a physician and audiologist, concurrent behavioral health treatment with me can interrupt this anxiety loop.
My Approach
Here are the two ways we would approach the anxiety.
Talk Therapy
Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy is the process if investigating and reprogramming your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to get you to the life you want. In addition to talking, this can include notes and worksheets.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting invites you to look in different places to shortcut access to your nervous system.
Some clients prefer Brainspotting because it requires less talking and can lead to quicker results despite feeling more intense.
