Different Anxiety Counseling Strategies: Does it Work?
The key to anxiety counseling is getting to the root cause of the attacks. In the same way as in other medical conditions, before treatment can be initiated, the culprit of the infection or disease must be known. In anxiety counseling, covering things up is not advisable. The therapist must need to know everything about the attack because random things including phobias, repressed emotions, untold traumatic experiences and even the most irrational of things can cause it. Therefore, it is necessary especially in anxiety counseling to speak up, or in the case of family members, dig up even to the minutest of details from the past. Once the cause is established, then treatment can proceed.
One of the more popularly used anxiety counseling strategy is systematic desensitization. It is based on the behavioral therapy of classical conditioning. In this process, the client is gradually exposed to the triggering factor until such time that it becomes tolerable. This anxiety counseling strategy is especially useful in phobias and other irrational fears.
Another variant of systematic desensitization is known as flooding. This anxiety counseling strategy is also useful in irrational fears and anxiety attacks. In cases of traumatic experience, the goal is to flood the patient with thoughts of the experience until such time that he is able to express some repressed emotions into his current state. Once the right emotion is expressed, then the patient has achieved a certain amount of coping.
In anxiety counseling, communication remains to be the key. Effectivity of anxiety counseling strategies employed depends on the capacity of the client and his family to maintain open communication pathways with the therapist. Therefore, the client and his family should never hesitate to speak about the attacks and if possible, present all information about the client to determine what could have caused it.
