Focus on today

From the desk of Susan M Desiderio, BA, LMT Wellness Specialist

 

When patients enter treatment, they are bombarded with information. This environment can be extremely overwhelming. Nothing can be done until we calm a patient’s mind. Everything is scary and unfamiliar. The nervous systems is telling patients to abandon ship. We have several different tactics for bringing a patient back to center.
Our team has studied the Eastern philosophies of healing. Much of what we do comes down to anxiety management. Anxiety affects every part of the body, and intensifies preexisting conditions. When tension and emotion build up inside, it has countless negative side effects. Anxiety is largely built on fear of what is to happen next. Consider taking things one day at a time. Focus on today.
