Find Compassionate Therapy for Anxiety
Understanding support for overcoming anxiety and regaining peace of mind.
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a mental health condition every person experiences in their life. Anxiety can feel like uneasiness, dread, or fear. Anxiety is your body’s early warning sign to current or perceived danger. When left unaddressed, anxiety can spin out of your control and cause significant stress leading to negative outcomes to your health, social life, and many more areas.
How anxiety impacts daily life
Anxiety is more than just thoughts in your head. Anxiety impacts your body, decision-making, and your ability to function day-to-day. For many people anxiety feels like a constant extra weight they carry around every day. It can make work more difficult, negatively impact your ability to make social connections, and make daily tasks like chores, homework, or going to work that much more difficult.
When to seek professional help
While anxiety is often uncomfortable, it’s not always a bad thing. Like any emotion, anxiety is helpful for understanding what you want, and dangerous situations. However, for many people managing anxiety on their own can be too difficult. Therapy for anxiety management can help you understand, and manage your anxiety.
Here are some common signs it's time to seek out therapy for anxiety:
Your ability to cope and function in daily life is outweighed by your anxiety
Your ability to work/hold a job is impacted by anxiety
Anxiety causes you to struggle meeting new people and make social connections
You struggle to leave your home due to excessive worry or fear
