When the spirals won’t stop — therapy can help.
You’re awake at night and wondering what’s wrong with you. You’ve been googling your symptoms which only makes you feel more worried. You’re terrified of something awful happening 24/7. You even feel guilty for worrying so much.
Let’s change that.
How does therapy help with anxiety?
-
Therapy helps you identify whats underneath your anxiety—whether it's trauma, chronic stress, negative thinking patterns, or unresolved conflicts. Gaining insight into why you feel anxious can reduce its heaviness on your mind.
-
Therapy can help you stop the spiral and change the thoughts that just aren’t helpful to you. It helps you first recognize the unhelpful thought, then challenge the irrational fears, and replace them with more balanced and realistic thoughts.
-
I can help you learn practical tools like breathing exercises, grounding techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, mindfulness and meditation.
-
Anxiety often leads to avoidance - like avoiding people or work. Therapy helps you gradually face your fears through gentle challenges and exposure. It helps reduce these avoidance behaviors that are otherwise strengthening anxiety in the long run.
-
Simply talking to someone in a non-judgmental, supportive setting can reduce emotional distress. Therapy provides a safe space to express fears and worries. Therapy helps you feel less alone in what you're going through.
