Is anxiety preventing you from living a full life?
Anxiety is the body’s natural response to perceived danger. However if the feelings of anxiety and worry are constant, they can interfere with your daily activities and relationships. Although some people experience anxiety or panic attacks, not everyone living with an anxiety disorder does. Symptoms can look different from person to person.
What follows are the most common signs of anxiety:
- Feelings of doom or dread
- Unexpected and or recurrent panic attacks
- Feeling tense and jumpy
- Feeling overly concerned about the future
- Feeling overly concerned about what others may think of you
- Rushes of fear that seem to happen out of the blue
- Trouble concentrating
- Pounding heart
- Sweating
- Stomach upset or dizziness
- Shortness of breath
- Tremours and twitches
How can Psychotherapy help you overcome anxiety?
My approach to treating anxiety has 2 components: uncovering the root cause and treating the symptoms. The first treatment component used to uncover the cause of the feelings of anxiety, is a combination of effective Psychotherapy / Counselling techniques. This aids in exploring and re-framing past experiences and negative thoughts that fuel anxiety. The second component is addressing the symptoms using proven techniques combining mindfulness, insight and cognitive skills to control anxious thoughts and worries.
