Anxiety

Anxiety is your brain alerting you to something that is happening that feels like it needs your attention. Some anxiety is pretty normal and most people feel it at some point.

However, when the frequency or intensity you are experiencing anxiety at impacts your ability to move through the world as you want to, then it might help you to know that not only is support available, but it might just help the anxiety feel more manageable.

Anxiety takes many forms including but not limited to Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Health Anxiety, Social Anxiety and Agoraphobia. The symptoms show up in physical, psychological and emotional ways and show up differently for all people. The physical symptoms can range from being a nuisance to being terrifying and the psychological and behavioural impact on your day to day function can range from frustrating to debilitating.

Therapy can be a place you explore what the anxiety alert is trying to tell you, where it stems from, strategies to deal with it and how much of your attention it really deserves. It can also be a place you explore your relationship to anxiety - the ways it serves you and how it hinders you.
