Understanding Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety and depression are more than just emotions—they are biological, psychological, and relational conditions that can affect every aspect of life.

🔹 Anxiety can manifest as constant worry, panic attacks, racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping, and avoidance of certain situations. It can create a sense of being out of control, hyper-aware, and physically tense.

🔹 Depression often appears as persistent sadness, fatigue, loss of motivation, withdrawal from loved ones, and a deep sense of hopelessness. It can make everyday activities feel exhausting and overwhelming.

While both conditions can feel incredibly isolating, research shows that healing happens through connection, support, and targeted therapeutic interventions.

At POCCC, we believe that anxiety and depression are deeply connected to how we experience relationships, emotional safety, and attachment patterns. Research shows that our early emotional connections shape how we process stress, fear, and emotional pain—and that secure attachments play a key role in mental health and resilience.

We use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness strategies, and trauma-informed care to help individuals:

✔ Understand the Root Causes – Identify underlying triggers, thought patterns, and relational influences that contribute to anxiety and depression.
✔ Develop Emotional Regulation Skills – Learn how to manage overwhelming emotions, reduce stress, and regain a sense of control.
✔ Heal Attachment Wounds – Address past relational trauma, emotional disconnection, and trust issues that may be fueling distress.
✔ Create a Secure Emotional Foundation – Build stronger, healthier relationships that support emotional well-being.
✔ Rewire Negative Thought Patterns – Shift from self-doubt and fear to confidence, resilience, and hope.
✔ Find Meaning and Purpose – Reconnect with personal strengths, passions, and a vision for a fulfilling life.

By integrating research-backed therapy, compassionate coaching, and a focus on emotional connection, we help clients not just cope—but truly heal.
