Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?

An essential part of effective anxiety treatment is not avoiding anxiety, rather one needs to learn to face and tolerate it.  Avoidance may bring short-term relief, but reinforces the fear and maintains the anxiety disorder.  Building tolerance to discomfort is crucial for long-term recovery and resilience. 

Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:

• Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
• Feelings of danger, panic, or dread
• Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
• Increased or heavy sweating
• Trembling or muscle twitching
• Weakness or lethargy
• Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
• Insomnia
• Obsessions about certain ideas; a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
• Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past; a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder
