Therapy for Anxiety

What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural emotion that is often described as a feeling of worry, tension, or apprehension. Anxiety is an important emotion because it can be a red flag that something about a situation is not healthy or is even dangerous, causing a person to hesitate from doing something potentially harmful or pushing them to leave the situation. Anxiety can be impact how one feels emotionally, how one thinks, and how one feels emotionally.

When Is Anxiety a Problem?

Anxiety can be a problem when it stops us from living our lives and achieving the things we want out of life. Anxiety can be a problem when we start feeling it in everyday situations – like when going to a party or before a big presentation – and it impacts our ability to be in the situation. Sometimes, it might cause physical issues, like headaches or stomachaches, and at other times, it may make it difficult to think clearly and focus or to make decisions. In some cases, anxiety may stop a person from being able to go to school or work and it may keep a person from doing things that they once enjoyed doing.
