What If My Anxiety Is Connected to Past Trauma?

That is very common. Anxiety and trauma frequently overlap, and Celeste's training in EMDR and somatic therapy is specifically designed to address both at the same time.

This work works. It teaches your nervous system to stop treating daily life like a threat. At Living Deliberate, our therapists, Celeste Benesch, MC, LPC, and Lisa Lee, LAC, work with clients whose anxiety is rooted in unresolved stress, trauma, relationship patterns, or the relentless pressure of trying to hold everything together. Celeste brings over 10 years of clinical experience to this work. Therapy does not simply help you feel calmer in the short term. It builds the emotional regulation skills you carry forward for good.

Every treatment plan at Living Deliberate is built around the specific patterns keeping you stuck. Our therapists draw on evidence-based modalities depending on what fits your situation:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): targets the stored memories and sensations that keep the nervous system in a state of alert.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): builds concrete distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills you can use between sessions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): identifies and reframes the thought patterns that fuel anxious cycles.
Somatic therapy: addresses anxiety held in the body, not just the mind.

No single method works for everyone. The combination is chosen after getting to know you, your history, and what you have already tried.

Living Deliberate is based in Gilbert and serves clients across the East Valley, including Queen Creek, AZ. Our therapists specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety that is layered with other pressures: postpartum stress, relationship strain, trauma history, or burnout from carrying more than one person should carry alone. If you have looked at our individual counseling page and recognized yourself in it, this is likely a meaningful next step.

Anxiety rarely travels alone. Many clients come in with anxiety that is closely tied to past trauma. Our trauma therapy page explains how EMDR works for trauma-linked anxiety in more depth.

The work is honest and it is not always easy. But you do not have to have everything figured out before you start. Here is how the process typically unfolds:

Session one: a full intake where your therapist listens, assesses, and starts mapping the patterns behind your anxiety.
Sessions two through four: introduction of the tools and modalities best suited to your specific presentation.
Ongoing sessions: building the skills, processing the roots, and tracking real change over time.

You will not be handed a worksheet and sent home. Your therapist gets direct with you about what they are seeing, while always meeting your need for support and compassion.
