Anxiety Counselling
Anxiety is your body’s response to stress. Anxiety is a fear or worry about what’s to come and uncertain things.
However, if a response to such anxious situations is extreme, repeats constantly, and interferes with your day-to-day life, you may want to seek help to overcome anxiety.
You might be affected by anxiety if you are going through:
- Constantly worry about things you can’t control.
- Feeling pressured by life events such as family issues, workplace issues, grief, trauma etc.
- Unable to overcome fears.
- Self-doubt and have a negative outlook on life.
Impact of Anxiety on Life
Anxiety can have a profound impact on an individual’s mental and physical health. It can lead to symptoms such as feeling tense, nervous, and having difficulty relaxing, as well as physical effects like rapid breathing, heart palpitations, butterflies in your stomach, sweating or digestive issues. You feel that you cannot control your body’s response to your situation.
Furthermore, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States and the UK, affecting a significant portion of the population.
Managing Anxiety through CBT therapy and other strategies
To manage anxiety, various strategies can be employed, including self-care techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, exercise, and seeking social support.
