Anxiety
Therapy
Why am I worried so much of the time?
Why do I avoid intimacy and connecting to others?
When did this all begin?
During childhood, wounds such as loss, betrayal, humiliation, and rejection, even in their most mild or moderate experience, can leave lasting impressions on our lives as we grow into our teenage and adult years.
Anxiety Levels
Understanding anxiety is crucial for managing its effects in our lives. While anxiety serves a protective function by signaling us to potential threats, it can also become overwhelming. Moderate anxiety may motivate us to prepare for challenges, but when it escalates into frequent worry or escalate into panic attacks, it can significantly hinder our daily functioning.
Professional therapy offers tailored approaches to help individuals understand and manage their anxiety more effectively, paving the way for a healthier relationship with their emotions. Ultimately, acknowledging the role of anxiety can empower us to cope with it more effectively and enhance our quality of life.
“Anxiety’s like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you very far.”
— Jodi Picoult
