Counseling for Anxiety
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can't control it, no matter how hard you try? When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective treatment option. That's because therapy for anxiety – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just the symptoms your body experiences.
Often, these are the symptoms associated with anxiety:
- Nervousness, Restlessness, or Feeling Tense
- Feelings of Danger, Panic, or Dread
- Rapid Breathing or Hyperventilation
- Increased or Heavy Sweating
- Trembling or Tingling Sensations
- Weakness or Lethargy
- Insomnia
- Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you're worried about
- Obsessions about specific ideas; this symptom can also be a sign of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
- Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past; this symptom can also be a sign of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Therapy can help you uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, teach your mind and body to relax, help you look at situations in a new - less frightening way, and guide you to develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills to help you live a better life.
