Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): I am EMDR certified and highly recommend it to all clients I work with.
EMDR was originally utilized for treating trauma, but it is also effective in addressing a wide range of concerns including anxiety/panic, depression, OCD, and addiction.
It is different from typical talk therapy and can be helpful to use when you feel stuck with something.
One of the mental health practitioners I admire most says, "anxiety is simply growth waiting to happen." The way to overcome anxiety is to stop trying to overcome anxiety - it's not bad, it's not wrong, and it's not a problem.
In fact, it's good! It's a sign pointing to your areas of growth.
So how can you engage challenges more, instead of avoiding them?
I worked at two domestic violence agencies and received extensive training at both.
Understanding the facts, the cycles, and the effects of domestic violence is essential in order to provide effective therapy for survivors.
You are not alone. Healing is possible.
