You are not alone.
In all its forms, anxiety affects approximately 40 million Americans every year. Although some of those people will experience a brief episode related to some stressful event or situation, most will experience anxiety throughout their entire lives.
Anxiety, if left untreated, tends to get worse over time. Spreading like cancer, anxiety can have a snowball effect, where one fear leads to another fear, and another fear, and so on. Panic attacks are an intense experience of anxiety and can lead sufferers to avoid situations that trigger these panic attacks. This trend eventually can lead the sufferer to avoid most situations and people just to avoid anxiety.
The good news is that anxiety can be dealt with quite effectively by partnering with a therapist. Together, the two of you will implement a counseling plan that combines holistic anxiety treatment approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, Comprehensive Energy Psychology (CEP), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and a body wellness plan to decrease and better manage your anxiety.
Our therapists at OptimalLife Wellness Center can help free you from the endless cycle of worry, fear, and doubt, and get you back to enjoying the life you deserve to have.
