Is a general feeling of 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?
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.
Often, these are some typical symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder:
- Persistent worry and worry about many things that seem out of proportion to the events themselves.
- Overthinking and worry about possible negative outcomes.
- Perceiving events as threatening.
- Difficulty in making decisions
- Nervousness, restlessness or being tense
- Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
- Insomnia
- Muscle tension
- Irritability
Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
