Therapy for Anxiety can help when you don’t feel yourself.
Just when things are going well, you are overcome with worry and fear. Your thoughts get in the way of taking the next step. So you shut down and nothing changes.
Maybe you notice that you are frequently experiencing rapid heart rate, a sense of dread, or your stomach is always causing you problems. This is not you! You know what it feels like to feel better and you want that back. Anxiety has taken over and you feel like you don’t have control anymore.

Anxiety can make you feel restless or irritable around others. Finding it more difficult to connect with people and be yourself around them. They have not done anything wrong and yet you find yourself lashing out towards them. Your relationships are now affected and you are unsure how to fix things.
Not everyone experiences anxiety in the same way.
You feel alone and isolated.
Avoiding things that you once took pleasure in. People in your support system don’t understand what’s going on and you can’t describe it to them.
Or maybe you are noticing intense fear for things that never scared you before. The thought of having to do something that your fearful of paralyzes you, so you don’t try new things.
Your hopes and dreams have changed so much because of your anxiety that you don’t know who you are anymore. You want the old you back, but you don’t know how to get there.
Anxiety can have long term effects on our minds and bodies.
Many times the damaging effects last for years before they are treated. In fact, research has connected many of our nations chronic medical conditions to undiagnosed and untreated anxiety.
Anxiety therapy helps people understand how their thoughts affect their feelings and vice versa. We invite our clients to reflect on how the body can be a guide to recognizing anxiety and then initiating strategies to help your body not reach such a high anxious state.
