Tuesday Q&A

Question: Is anxiety normal?

Answer: In small doses, fear is helpful. Fear can direct us toward staying safe and can help you focus your energy to complete tasks on time. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, it inhibits daily activities including work, school and relationships. Think of this as the difference between a car alarm that goes off when someone is breaking in to the car vs. a car alarm that goes off every day, all day long. Daily life then becomes a constant state of worry and fear. Anxiety does not have to rule your life. Brave Hearts can help you reset your internal alarm.

Today's Q&A
Question: What is Play Therapy?
Answer: Play is how children communicate, investigate and interact with the world around them. In therapy, I use play to help children work through multiple issues including parental separation and divorce, bullying, adjustment to new situations, anger, grief and abuse. Play helps children learn to express their feelings appropriately, address inadequacies, comunicate with others and solve problems.

If you would like to know more about Play Therapy or would like to schedule an appointment, contact me (352) 867-8477.
