What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is something we have all experienced at some point in our lives. You know the feeling. Non-stop worrying about a conversation from earlier. Feeling on edge about a work situation. Or, noticing more fear that something bad is going to happen after a recent stressful event.
Some anxiety may even seem like it makes sense for a situation, but when does it become too much? We have a pretty simple way to tell the difference between “normal” and “time to get help.” If you are feeling like anxiety is taking up a lot of your energy and thoughts, it could be time for you to address this issue by meeting with a therapist.
Anxiety is common in adults, children, and teens
Anxiety is something many people struggle with, and you’re not alone. While untreated anxiety can affect your emotional and physical health, the good news is that it’s highly treatable.
Counseling can help you learn more about your anxiety. It can help you learn more about your anxiety triggers and their impact on your life. In counseling, you will learn effective ways to cope with anxiety. Your therapist can help you develop skills for managing anxiety. These skills can include a lot of new ways of thinking. In therapy for anxiety, you might start challenging thoughts that lead to anxiety. Then, identify tools to help you remain more calm and present.
