Blake Thompson – Anxiety Specialist

If you suffer from anxiety, you should consider seeing a specialist – someone who focuses on anxiety exclusively and who can provide a comprehensive approach to your treatment. This is important for two reasons. First, one-size-fits-all approaches to therapy attempt to be as inclusive as possible and inevitably end up dumbing things down and glossing over much of the relevant complexity. Anxieties are at least as complex as those who have them. A specialized approach to treating anxiety should respect and utilize this complexity, rather than trying to gloss over it. Instead of dumbing things down, it should empower individuals to use all of the intellectual and creative resources at their disposal. Anxieties have a number of layers. Therapy should address manifestations of anxiety that exist at the everyday level, but should also dig deeper – because the aspects of our anxiety that we are able to conceptualize, prior to therapy, are frequently only the tip of the iceberg.
