Anxiety

Is anxiety taking over your life?

Do you experience sudden feelings of panic that seem to come out of nowhere?

Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try?

Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:

  • Insomnia

  • Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense

  • Feelings of danger, panic, or dread

  • Rapid breathing or hyperventilation

  • Trembling, sweating, or muscle twitching

  • Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about

  • Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past

What can help?

When it comes to treating difficult to control anxiety, research shows that including psychotherapy in your care is usually the most effective option. That’s because psychotherapy for anxiety – as opposed to anxiety medication alone – treats more than just symptoms of the problem. Psychotherapy can help uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
