Anxiety Therapy
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try?
If this sounds like you, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.
Anxiety creates a disconnection between your cognitive intellect and emotional being – even though you know as an adult that you’re safe, because of some earlier experience you feel fear and anxiety about something that’s not even happening presently.
Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:
- Nervousness, restlessness or being tense
- Feelings of danger, panic or dread
- Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
- Increased or heavy sweating
- Trembling or muscle twitching
- Weakness or lethargy
- Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
- Insomnia
- Obsessions about certain ideas, a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past, a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder
