Anxiety
Are you Overwhelmed
with Worry?
Does your mind race with fearful, anxious thoughts throughout the day? Perhaps your anxiety manifests through physical symptoms, such as tightness in your chest, a racing heartbeat, nausea or feeling like you can’t breathe.
Understanding Your Experience
The Weight Anxiety Places on Every Part of Life
You may worry about being a good parent or partner, constantly questioning whether you are doing enough for the people you love. Anxiety can lead you to avoid activities and loved ones because it feels safer than facing the discomfort.
You may wake up anxious, already dreading the daily activities ahead. A boss, a long line, a crowded room or a social gathering can become a trigger. You may feel watched and judged by others, even when no one is judging you.
By the end of the day, you are worn out from carrying the weight of worry. You may turn to food or substances for temporary relief. Racing thoughts and regret can block sleep, leaving you wondering how tomorrow will feel.

Common Concerns
Questions & Concerns You May Have About Seeking Treatment
“I feel like I should be able to manage my anxiety on my own.”
Anxiety is a difficult issue to tackle on your own. If you’ve had trouble in the past with self-treating your anxiety, it is likely you will continue to struggle and end up exactly where you started. Anxiety can cause overwhelming feelings of worry, which can lead to isolation. However, there is no shame in reaching out for help. In fact, the sooner you seek professional help for anxiety, the better your chances are for long-term relief. The wealth of your therapist’s experience coupled with your determination to experience relief can produce fast, positive results.
“I'm worried that I'll be judged by my family and friends for seeking anxiety treatment.”
Feeling nervous about attending therapy is common – and it’s oftentimes even more so for people suffering from anxiety. However, it’s likely that your friends and family would be happy and proud that you are working to improve your life. But, if you want to keep your treatment to yourself, your therapy sessions are always 100 percent confidential.
“I feel selfish about taking the time away from my family and work.”
Imagine how much you could improve your relationships with your family and friends if you felt relief from anxiety. Finding peace and happiness in your own life is the opposite of selfish. Rather, taking care of yourself can help you to become a better parent and to connect with your partner on a deeper level. Furthermore, through alleviating stress, you can become more productive and confident at work and in all aspects of your life.
