The Power of Emotional Change
At a deep body level we feel what we believe. Anxiety is a hyper focus on real or imagined problems, reinforced by body tension. Depression happens when anxiety is too high for too long, and you can’t get it down. Behaviors can seem to happen without any decision – panic attacks, phobias, tics, nail-biting, hair pulling, OCD, Tourette’s. Everything from something like snacking when you’re trying to diet to things like seizures that have no neurological basis, or other functional neurological symptoms which just feel completely beyond your control. Even chronic physical pain has a strong emotional component. Discipline and self-discipline don’t seem to help. You want more than just techniques to try to manage all this.

Dr. G. Fredric Mau
“Emotion, not information, drives behavior.“
Dr. Fredric Mau is a clinical mental health counselor. He was named Outstanding Counselor by the South Carolina Counseling Association.
Dr. Mau specializes in Ericksonian Hypnosis, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. These approaches all work at an emotional level with a goal of preventing problems from reoccurring. This is different from cognitive therapies, which are about managing problems. He primarily treats anxiety, trauma, depression, phobias, OCD, tics, physical pain, functional neurological (body symptom), sleep disorders, as well as helping with behavioral change like smoking cessation and weight loss. This is a brief process that moves quickly.
