Expert anxiety Therapy in Greenville, SC
Living with Anxiety is no Picnic
You have anxiety. It’s always there, like a dark cloud that follows you around. Everyday tasks are difficult, and relationships are always a challenge.
You’ve been in a few toxic relationships in the past, and each one seems to leave you feeling even more broken than before.
You don’t know how to break the cycle; you seem to just keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
You’re really struggling right now. Anxiety can be incredibly debilitating, making it hard to function in day-to-day life.
It can feel like you’re constantly on edge, like you’re never good enough. Even when you’re successful, it’s never enough. That constant worry and stress can take a toll on your physical and mental health.
You’ve tried to find ways to cope with your anxiety, but it only gets worse. Maybe you’ve made some changes in your life to reduce your stress levels. Maybe you’ve tried seeing a therapist to help you deal with your anxiety in a healthy way.
Yet no matter what you’ve done or tried you still feel stuck.
Effective Anxiety counseling is closer than you think
Some Anxiety is Normal
Anxiety is a feeling of worry or fear about something that may happen in the future. It’s our mind’s (and body’s) natural response to stress. It’s our body’s attempt to keep us safe from harm. Sometimes, it’s a bit overzealous.
For people who suffer from anxiety disorders, however, these feelings can be so intense and frequent that they interfere with daily life. People with anxiety disorders may experience panic attacks, which are sudden episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms such as a racing heart, sweating, and trembling.
Our bodies are on high alert, scanning for signs of danger. The problem is that our bodies respond this way whether the threat of danger is real or “in our heads”.
Anxiety Therapy Can Help You Understand Your Anxiety
Anxiety can be a tricky beast. It’s hard to understand and it’s even harder to control. We try to resist our anxious thoughts, but they only become louder. It’s important to understand the role your anxiety plays.
Allow your anxiety to have a voice, but take its grubby hands off the steering wheel. Try to sit with your anxiety and understand it. What is it telling you? What are you afraid of?
Once you understand your anxiety, you can begin to control it. Don’t try to fight it, but don’t let it control you either. Allow yourself to feel the anxiety, but don’t let it take over. Deep breathing and other relaxation techniques may help you to calm your body and mind. If you can learn to control your anxiety, you’ll be one step ahead of the game.
You Can Learn to Live Free from the Overwhelm
It is possible to live a life free from the shackles of anxiety. This means living a more authentic life, one in which you are not constantly worrying about what other people may say or think.
When you live in the present, rather than fixated on what might come to pass, you learn to trust yourself and can tell your anxiety to take a back seat. While it may seem daunting at first, know that there are many effective strategies for gaining control over excessive anxiety.
We can train your brain to think differently, to catch the irrational anxiety, and develop new habits in your thinking. Just because your brain sends you a signal or a thought, doesn’t mean you have to invite it in, feed it, bathe it, and put it to bed.
I believe that talk therapy is tremendously helpful in overcoming the effects of anxiety. It is possible to develop entirely new ways of thinking, being, and doing. It just takes some work and a lot of practice.
