Therapy for Anxiety
“I can’t get my brain to turn off.”
It’s 10:30 pm, and you’re so glad the day is over. Your shoulders and neck ache. Your head pounds. You’re exhausted and in need of a good night’s sleep. As soon as your head hits the pillow and the lights are out, your brain kicks into overdrive. You can’t calm your thoughts enough to get any rest. Anxiety leaves you feeling jittery and uncomfortable with constant worry. If you can relate, getting therapy for anxiety can help you understand and overcome these feelings.
Anxiety runs through all the “What-Ifs” and leaves you on edge. It is skilled at dreaming up the worst-case scenario and troubling you with intrusive thoughts. It makes you afraid to try new things and has you overthinking your choices.
Social situations and everyday experiences can be overwhelming and fill you with dread. You might find yourself replaying conversations and events that happened earlier in the day or even years ago.
Living with anxiety can mean you sometimes miss out on opportunities and experiences because you don’t want to take the risk that something might not work out. If you’re also struggling with depression, you might think, “What’s the point, it’s going to be a disaster anyway.”
If anxiety leaves you feeling on edge and battling with your thoughts, you can learn ways to quiet the noise and stop overthinking. Therapy for anxiety can help you learn how to calm the discomfort you feel in your body every time it takes over.
