Therapy for Anxiety
“I’m so overwhelmed and don’t know where to start…”
“I’m uncomfortable in my own skin..”
“I can’t slow down or relax...”
“I don’t know how to deal with what I’m feeling...”
Maybe these feelings have slowly, but surely, crept up on you or maybe it felt like you had everything under control but it all came crashing down quickly. You have noticed that your ability to function in many areas of your life has started to slip. You’re having trouble concentrating, you’ve lost your focus and feel like you can’t get anything done. You know that spending time with your friends and your family will make you feel better but you can’t find the motivation to call, text or keep the plans you made. You find yourself feeling more irritable, snapping at your partner, getting frustrated with friends and unable to tolerate what seems like “normal” difficulties. Your usual hobbies don’t feel as enjoyable anymore. Depression takes the color out of our world and makes it feel like we’re walking through mud to get anything done.
It can often feel like you can’t turn your brain off and you’re unable to relax. Maybe you have always considered yourself a worrier but now it feels like it’s getting in the way of being able to enjoy your life. Your worrying keeps you from falling asleep or wakes you up at night. You feel like you have to constantly be on the go. You feel like you can’t be present in your relationships. You feel on edge and ready to snap at any moment.
You know something has to change…
It can be absolutely exhausting to live life this way and you want to be the best version of yourself. You want to be able to enjoy your life and find your motivation and energy again. You want to be able to understand yourself and make changes for the better that last.
Understanding what it is you’re feeling
Identifying and changing unhelpful thinking
Finding the root cause of your anxiety
Setting boundaries to find a better balance
Improving your habits
Being kinder and forgiving yourself
Things we can work on:
Your feelings do not define you.
Just because this may be how you are feeling now, does not mean you will feel this way forever.
