Anxiety Treatment Can Help You Overcome Limiting And Stressful Symptoms

Therapists often hear the following statements from their clients in relation to anxiety:

I am constantly worrying about everything, even small things. I am so worried and fearful.
I can’t relax, have been getting headaches, and don’t feel hungry.
I feel panicky, my heart is racing and I can’t stop bad thoughts.
I have a hard time falling asleep because my brain doesn’t stop worrying.
I am so nervous and overwhelmed at work that I’m afraid of losing my job.

These are very common reasons for adults to seek anxiety treatment or counseling when life brings unexpected changes. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), approximately 40 million adults between ages of 18-54 suffer from Anxiety Disorder. Anxiety can also manifest into physical illnesses due to the complex nature of this disorder.

The good news is that anxiety disorder is highly treatable. You should consult with your primary physician or see a professional (psychologist or licensed therapist) for an evaluation to ensure you are not ignoring symptoms that can manifest into a medical or severe psychiatric disorder.

I want to stop worrying, stop negative thoughts and live a peaceful life. What does therapy for anxiety entail?

Anxiety therapy can be multi-modality – consulting with your physician, meeting with a therapist, eating healthy, sleeping well, exercising and starting some form of meditation. Your therapist will complete an evaluation; determine the severity of your anxiety symptoms, source of worry or stressors; make recommendations for treatment; assist you in identifying triggers; resolve past trauma; find balance in your relationships; and teach healthier coping skills to overcome future anxiety problems.

Your therapist will use psychotherapy and treatment modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is highly recommended and effective in anxiety treatment. CBT teaches you to change irrational thoughts, stop destructive behaviors, and be more in touch with your feelings.

Resolve Anxiety

Is it possible that I am unconsciously enabling negative behaviors by constantly worrying?

Through psychotherapy, people sometimes uncover that anxiety or constant worrying can be a learned behavior possibly due to a dysfunctional upbringing, parent or family member with intense substance use, physical or sexual trauma in childhood, or other unsafe factors that may leave you feeling stuck in survival mode. However, there is hope to heal from childhood emotional trauma, and to live a healthy and happy life.

Anxiety is controlling your life, now it’s time to free yourself from this prison!
