During the course of therapy, you’ll learn skills to manage your anxiety. You will learn to recognize your triggers and identify your internal warning signs that the anxiety cycle has started.
Anxiety is by far the most prevalent mental illness in our modern world. Anxiety often accompanies mental worry or emotional pain.
As we focus on the worry or pain we are experiencing, the feelings can become so overwhelming that they can preventing us from enjoying the present moment.
Anxiety can increase our fears and limit us in participating in life.
We will work towards supporting you from over-thinking, over-worrying and over-reacting to anxiety, empowering you to regain peace of mind.
COMMON SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS OF ANXIETY
You might experience one or more of these symptoms:
During the course of therapy, you’ll learn skills to manage your anxiety. You will learn to recognize your triggers and identify your internal warning signs that the anxiety cycle has started.
You will learn to disengage from negative thoughts and treat them as information, rather than absolute truths, so they have less influence over your behaviour.
You will also learn acceptance skills that allow you to feel the physical symptoms of anxiety as they occur in your body without trying to change them or run from them.
The mind wanders by nature. It revisits the past, it explores, and plans for the future. When we can’t make sense of what’s going on, the mind represses, distracts or fixates. With anxiety therapy, you will learn to step outside these thinking patterns.
You can reach beyond the regrets of the past and the worries of the future and focus on the present moment where you can take meaningful action.
As you learn these skills, you’ll watch your relationship with anxiety begin to change. Those anxious feelings will become less intense and less frequent, allowing you to lead a more fulfilling, balanced and peaceful life.
Anxiety manifests itself in a variety of ways. The most common types are:
