Anxiety and Panic
When your mind won't stop running
For adults whose worry has taken over the steering wheel, and whose body seems to know it before they do.
Who it is for
Busy minds, tired bodies
You may be the person everyone relies on. Underneath, your thoughts loop late into the night and your shoulders live somewhere near your ears.
- Your chest tightens in meetings for no clear reason.
- A sudden wave of panic sends you out of the grocery store.
- You replay a text from your partner fifty times, hunting for hidden meaning.
- Stress has become the background hum of every single day.
What we work on
Where anxiety tends to show up
- 01
Racing thoughts
The mental to do list that never finishes, and the what ifs that follow.
- 02
Panic attacks
Pounding heart, shaky breath, and the fear of the next one.
- 03
Ongoing stress
Work, money, health, and the sense that you can never rest.
- 04
Relationship worry
Overthinking how you came across, or whether someone is pulling away.
How Naomi works
Treating anxiety as a part, not an enemy
Naomi often draws on Internal Family Systems. From that view, anxiety is a part of you that is working hard to keep you safe. It may be overdoing the job, but it usually has a reason.
Rather than battling the worry, we get curious about it. What is it afraid would happen if it relaxed? When that part feels heard, clients sometimes notice it has less need to shout.
What can shift
Breathing room
Some clients start to recognize the first flicker of panic earlier, and respond with more patience. Others find their worried part willing to step back now and then. Everyone's pace differs, and we make no promises about how it will go.
What sessions look like
Calm, steady, weekly
We meet by secure video or in person in Manhattan Beach each week. Some sessions are practical, like planning for a stressful trip. Others are slower, getting to know the part that keeps sounding the alarm.
