SPECIALTIES: ANXIETY
Anxiety.
We all experience some level of anxiety at different points in our lives. Whether we feel
anxious about a certain life event or whether we are propelled into a life-threatening situation,
our brain and body react on a physiological level. In many ways, anxiety is an adaptive, or
helpful, response. It serves as an internal, physical warning about what it happening in the
external world and can motivate us to pay attention and take action.
When anxiety is no longer a response that is helpful but rather one that harms, when it isn't
temporary but chronic and debilitating, it can severely interfere with living life. When anxiety
overwhelms, it becomes hard to function at all.
There are different kinds of disorders associated with anxiety. Some people have a
generalized sense of anxiety, others obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, while
others panic attacks and fear of certain social situations. Our thinking affects anxiety, and
often can make it worse.
With proper guidance and support, people are able to return their body and mind to a healthy,
balanced state. Psychotherapy can help people learn to understand their anxiety, learn to
develop coping skills, and learn to analyze their thinking patterns, so they can overcome it
successfully.
