Anxiety is common in Canada:
According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, mood and/or anxiety disorders are common and individuals are active in learning more about the condition:
In 2013, an estimated 3 million Canadians (11.6%) aged 18 years or older reported that they had a mood and/or anxiety disorder. Most people with mood and/or anxiety disorder(s) are currently taking, or have taken, prescription medication(s) (93%), but few (20%) have received psychological counselling to help manage their disorder(s). 83% said that they have educated themselves about their disorder(s). Becoming more informed about their disorder(s) and adopting good sleep habits are common coping strategies; however, engaging in other self-management strategies such as physical activity/exercise, meditative practices and developing a care plan are less common.
And from the Mental Health Commission of Canada:
- One in five people in Canada will experience a mental health problem or illness in any given year, with a cost of over $50 billion to our economy.
- 70% of adults living with a mental health problem or illness say their symptoms started in childhood.
- 60% of people with a mental health problem or illness won’t seek help for fear of being labeled.
- 500,000 Canadians, in any given week, are unable to work due to mental health problems or illnesses.
- One in three workplace disability claims are related to mental health problems or illnesses.
Logosynthesis® is a preferred treatment for anxiety.
We associate anxiety as a mental health disorder. What if we reframed it to be a natural reaction to life’s events. When there is uncertainty, instability or change, our body reacts because things are not as we expect. So what?
We can use our reactions (anxiety, fear, anger) as information. Using Logosynthesis, we are able to isolate and neutralize the triggers to these feelings and emotions.
In November 2017, we conducted an international survey of psychologists, psychotherapists and coaches who have trained in Logosynthesis®. They indicated that they use it to treat symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout and others. These professionals attribute overall effectiveness, speed of work, ease of use, client comfort and targets presented issue as the key benefits which make this their preferred treatment method.
The work is fast and effective when there is trust in the process. It does not require a deep understanding. The challenge is that this treatment is new and requires us to change our paradigms. If we can gain acceptance at a leadership level, we can begin to better support those suffering from events by providing them with a tool to neutralize their reactions.
