With its gripping uncertainty and relentless worry, anxiety is a universal human experience. While it's normal to feel anxious from time to time persistent anxiety can take a toll on our well-being and daily lives. Fortunately, therapy offers a lifeline to those caught in the crossfire of anxiety, providing practical tools and strategies to regain control and find a sense of calm.

Impacts of Anxiety

Anxiety is more than just a feeling of unease. It's a complex emotional response ranging from mild discomfort to overwhelming fear. Anxiety often stems from our natural fight-or-flight response, designed to protect us from danger. However, when this response becomes chronic or exaggerated, it can lead to physical, emotional, and cognitive distress.


Symptoms of Anxiety

Anxiety can manifest in various ways, including:

  • Restlessness and irritability

  • Racing thoughts and difficulty concentrating

  • Muscle tension and physical discomfort

  • Fatigue and trouble sleeping

  • Increased heart rate and shortness of breath

  • Avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety

With anxiety one of the best things to understand is that this is not just a feeling of stress but also a feeling that would go away by itself. It may take time, and with the training of a professional, it would be easier to navigate and understand. There is always help around every corner. All it takes is to take the first step and reach out for help. It does not have to be an extensive scary task learning to cope with anxiety.
