Overcome Anxiety and Live Your Best Life 

Introducing Taylor Kyle – Therapist for Teens & Young Adults

Coping with Stress in Today’s World

The world today produces many stressful situations.  This stress shows up in a variety of ways:

  • Physical symptoms: Anxiety can cause physical sensations such as sweating, shaking, a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, and muscle tension.

  • Worry and fear: People with anxiety may worry excessively about a range of issues, from social situations to their academic performance or their appearance.

  • Avoidance behaviors: To cope with anxiety, some may avoid certain situations or people that trigger their anxious feelings. This can lead to social isolation and a decreased quality of life.

  • Negative self-talk: Anxiety can also cause us to engage in negative self-talk, where we may put ourselves down, criticize our abilities, or fear failure. This can impact tself-esteem and self-confidence.

Furthermore, the pandemic has added another layer of complexity to the lives of many teens and young adults, with many experiencing isolation and stunted development. The lack of in-person interaction and support can lead to feelings of loneliness and anxiety. Many teens have missed critical developmental milestones like prom, graduation, or even hanging out with friends.

Is this you today?

Do you ever feel nervous or worried when you have a lot of schoolwork to do, a big exam coming up, or when you’re around a lot of people? That’s totally normal, but sometimes these feelings can become too much to handle, and they can even make you feel sick. When you’re anxious, your body can react by making your chest feel tight, making you sweat, and making it hard to catch your breath.

Feeling this way can make it hard for you to do things you normally enjoy, like hanging out with friends or even going to school. It’s okay to take a break or ask for help when you’re feeling overwhelmed. If you don’t address these feelings, they can turn into something more serious, like depression or substance abuse. It can also hurt your chances of success in school or at work, and make it hard to connect with others.

If you’re feeling this way a lot, it’s important to talk to someone you trust, like a parent, teacher, or counselor. There are ways to manage these feelings, like talking to someone, learning relaxation techniques, or even seeing a doctor. You deserve to feel happy and fulfilled, and getting help is a big step toward feeling better.



Taylor’s Process

Meet Taylor, a therapist who has found a unique approach to helping her clients manage stress and anxiety: mindfulness and meditation. Mindfulness is a type of mental training that involves paying attention to the present moment and accepting it without judgment. Meditation is a practice that involves training the mind to focus on a particular object, thought, or activity.

During therapy sessions, Taylor works with her clients to identify their triggers for stress and anxiety. Then, she tailors a mindfulness and meditation practice to fit each client’s unique needs. This can involve techniques like deep breathing exercises, visualization, or body scans.

Through mindfulness and meditation, Taylor’s clients learn to change their reactions to stressful triggers. Rather than feeling overwhelmed or reacting impulsively, they learn to respond calmly and thoughtfully. This can help them feel more in control of their emotions and behaviors, leading to greater well-being.

By tailoring her approach to each individual’s needs, Taylor helps her clients develop a mindfulness practice that works for them. This can help them build resilience, manage stress, and cultivate a more peaceful and fulfilling life.
