Anxiety Help
Anxiety can leave you feeling crippled with fear, isolated, and hopeless. It can significantly affect your daily functioning, your work/school performance, and your relationships. The good news is, you’re not alone and with treatment, you can reclaim the life you desire.
At their core, anxiety disorders are tied to mistaken or misguided appraisals of danger. There may be many different reasons or causes for it, but the reality is your brain believes you are in danger right now, even if you are not. The threat is exaggerated in your mind and you are left feeling overwhelmed and compelled to fight, flee, or freeze.
Anxiety can take many forms. Specific types of anxiety include Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, and specific phobias. No matter the diagnosis, almost all those with anxiety experience trouble sleeping, nervousness, fatigue, and the feeling that they’ll never experience a moment’s peace for as long as they live.
How to Deal with Anxiety
Anxiety therapy can help you work toward that feeling of peace that seems so elusive! The purpose is not just to eliminate fears and worries, but to help you regain control over your thoughts, your body, your life. Therapy equips you with skills that can be applied throughout your life, in any situation.
Therapy for anxiety involves recognizing and changing negative thoughts about yourself and the world, developing the skills to manage difficult, intrusive feelings, and making changes to gain confidence and peace.
Our therapists aim to take a holistic approach to treating anxiety, focusing on your mind (thought patterns, habits, feelings), your body (physical arousal, edginess, stored memories), and your soul (recognizing that your faith is not necessarily lacking, but more likely is under attack).
Through anxiety therapy, you’ll learn about how your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and beliefs are connected, how they contribute to your anxiety, and how you can regain control so that your anxiety no longer controls you.
Benefits of Anxiety Therapy
Effective Symptom Management
Several evidence-based modes of treatment have been proven effective in treating anxiety with positive results, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). These types of therapy treatments It can help individuals understand and change their thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, leading to a reduction in symptoms such as panic attacks and excessive worry. Studies indicate that over half of patients receiving therapy for anxiety experience significant improvement in their symptoms
Development of Coping Strategies
Therapy equips individuals with healthier coping mechanisms to manage anxiety. Patients learn techniques to confront and handle anxiety-provoking situations, which can reduce avoidance behaviors and improve overall functioning in daily life. This empowerment can lead to increased confidence in managing anxiety triggers.
Improved Quality of Life
Engaging in therapy can lead to a vastly improved quality of life. Many individuals report better sleep, reduced racing thoughts, and a decrease in panic attacks, allowing them to engage more fully in their personal and professional lives. The therapeutic process can help restore a sense of normalcy and enjoyment in life.
Personalized Treatment
Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach; it can be tailored to meet individual needs. Different therapeutic modalities, such as Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) or psychodynamic therapy, can be selected based on the specific causes of anxiety, whether they stem from relationship issues or past traumas. This personalized approach enhances the effectiveness of treatment.
Long-Term Benefits
Unlike medication, which may only provide short-term relief, psychological therapies can lead to long-lasting changes in thought patterns and behaviors. Research suggests that psychological treatments are more effective than medications for managing anxiety disorders in the long term. This can result in sustained improvements even after therapy has concluded.
Reduction of Stigma and Isolation
Participating in therapy can help reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues. It provides a safe space for individuals to express their feelings and experiences, fostering a sense of community and support. This social support can be crucial in managing anxiety and improving mental health outcomes.
Anxiety therapy not only addresses the symptoms of anxiety, but also empowers individuals with tools and strategies to manage their condition effectively, leading to a more fulfilling life.
