How to stop nightmares
The terror people experience in nightmares often seem real to them. Especially for very vivid, disturbing nightmares, it can feel to your body and mind as if you are actually going through the nightmare scenario.

Why is waiting so hard? A hopeful lament.
Why is waiting so hard? In part, because we are made aware that we are not in complete control of our own lives. You have to let go of some things before you will ever feel comfortable with waiting. You have to let go of some control of the future and learn to live more in the here and now. This is a discipline that you practice moment by moment. It's not easy, but it will free you up from so much anxiety. Our Houston Anxiety therapists can help you decrease your stress and get your mind back on track. Call us today at 713-565-0922.
