Counseling for Anxiety
Do you feel constantly worried, and that no matter what you do, you cannot get control of your stress? Are you overwhelmed or anxious in social situations, with family, at work?
Anxiety disorders involve worrying constantly and to an excessive degree about a range of topics, activities, situations. Anxiety is based in our basic need to create safety and protect ourselves, but with anxiety there is usually uncertainty – there is no clear and imminent danger, but we still feel afraid or apprehensive. For short periods of time, anxiety can be helpful to be more attuned to our environment and relationships, achieve goals, help us get through novel or challenging situations – but when anxiety becomes chronic or intense, it can become harmful rather than beneficial.
