Anxiety Therapy
Online Anxiety Counseling
You get that somewhat indescribable feeling in the pit of your stomach on Sunday night (for some of us it’s Sunday day) before the workweek starts—you can’t pinpoint anything specific that you’re stressed about but it’s just this cloud of unknown that is hovering over you– the Sunday Scaries. Work is obviously one of the most common areas of stress and anxiety.
Stress and anxiety aren’t limited to work. Maybe you keep looking to the future to try and figure out how you will overcome every conceivable obstacle that hasn’t actually happened yet. We have a huge imagination so our brain can concoct some pretty out there scenarios that aren’t even close to reality. This isn’t fun.
Anxiety can also affect relationships. It may be causing you to stop spending time with friends and family because your thoughts are overwhelming and take up all of the energy that you could be using to connect with others.
Living with anxiety sucks but there is hope. Anxiety therapy can empower you to understand the ‘why’ behind it. When you know the ‘why', it makes it easier to understand the ‘how’ for making things better and feel freedom from the anxiety that has taken over your life. And honestly, sometimes there isn’t really a ‘why’ (at least that you’re consciously aware of) and you’ll need to just reassure yourself that the thought isn’t reality. You can figure out what’s happening and find the best ways to move forward so that anxiety doesn’t hold you back.
You’re Not Alone
You’ve been around the block a few times at this point in your life and are aware of how common anxiety is. Anxiety can still feel lonely and it can feel like no one can understand what you’re going through. Close to 20% of the adult population in the U.S. have a problem with anxiety.
It’s normal to have physical responses when confronted with something scary or especially challenging— like an increased heart rate, fast breathing, sweaty palms etc. The problem comes in when someone shifts their lifestyle or decisions because of their anxiety and keeps them from doing things they need to do, such as looking for a new job or asking for a promotion.
