Anxiety

Anxiety is felt as worry and fear. It can make you feel jittery or “on edge.” If you have anxiety, your thoughts may race or your mind might go  “blank.” You might also notice heart palpitations, upset stomach, headaches, nausea, muscle tension, or difficulty sleeping. Sometimes people experience episodes of intense panic and it can come on unexpectedly, with no known cause.  At times we live with constant worry and worst case scenarios streaming through our heads. We can become so preoccupied with trying to avoid the situations that make us anxious that we start to miss out on life.

How therapy can help

  • Replace anxiety-producing thoughts with new, more helpful ones

  • Practice mind-body relaxation skills and mindfulness

  • Learn about your brain and how it experiences anxiety and relaxation

  • Learn to approach, instead of avoid, what is making you anxious 

  • Increase belief in yourself, ability to take healthy risks, and manage set-backs with confidence

  • Gradually place yourself in situations that have evoked anxiety, with the skills you need to be successful

  • Break-through barriers and find resolve
