In conjunction with CBT, biofeedback aids patients in understanding the link between internal anxious feelings and external bodily reactions. This empowering technique allows individuals to gain control over their thoughts and physical responses, showcasing tangible results even in stressful situations.
Addressing Anxiety and Substance Use
Understanding the intertwined nature of anxiety and substance use, we provide comprehensive support for individuals struggling with both. Our approach acknowledges the essential link between these issues, ensuring a holistic path to recovery.
Tackling Physical Symptoms
Physical symptoms often manifest as a result of internal anxiety. At Skyland Trail, our clinicians, based in our onsite wellness and primary care clinic, work collaboratively to manage these symptoms as part of the overall treatment plan.
Trauma-Informed Care for Lasting Recovery
Recognizing the profound impact of trauma on mental health, especially in cases of early childhood trauma, we practice trauma-informed care. By prioritizing the treatment of anxiety symptoms, we pave the way for clients to embark on formal trauma treatment when they are ready.
