Understanding Anxiety

• Have you been experiencing persistent fearful or worried thoughts that seem to replay over and over again in your mind?

• You might find it difficult to relax, fall asleep, or stay asleep throughout the night because of your worries.

• Maybe you’ve noticed tension in your body resulting in headaches, stomach aches, or other physical sensations.

All of this can feel really scary. Anxiety is a normal part of life, but when it becomes disruptive to daily living, you may need some help managing it.

When we experience anxiety, we are often imagining a worst case scenario and projecting that fear into the future. We spin our wheels worrying in an attempt to protect ourselves from that imagined fear before it happens. But of course we can’t, because in the present moment, it is only an imagined fear, not reality. It can certainly feel real, though.

If you’re experiencing excessive fearful or worried thoughts, I can help you process your anxiety and give you tools to manage your symptoms.
