THERAPY FOR ANXIETY
Anxiety is intense, and sometimes excessive. It is often persistent worry or fear linked to various life-experiences. While it’s quite normal to experience some level of anxiety at some point, It’s important to know when it begins to negatively impact your daily life
COMMON TYPES OF ANXIETY
Generalized Anxiety
As one of the most common anxiety disorders, generalized anxiety disorders is defined by excessive, uncontrollable anxiety, fear and worry about various life circumstances for lengthy periods of time, over a 6-month period. Feelings are extremely difficult to control, and appreciable levels of distress are accompanied by feelings of restlessness, irritability, fatigue, disrupted sleep, and muscle tension.
Separation Anxiety
The hallmark characteristics of separation anxiety are the fear of being separated from a loved one or caregiver. There is an ample amount of recurrent distress, and excessive worry about being alone, begin kidnapped, having an accident, or becoming ill – all of which would prevent a person from seeing the attachment figure.
Adjustment Anxiety
Feelings of constant worry, anxiousness, or being overwhelmed in reaction to a change or event can constitute as adjustment anxiety, specifically if a considerable amount of change has occurred in one’s life. It’s important to note if feelings are accompanied by the inability to concentrate or excessive impulsive behaviors.
Social Anxiety
Is more than just childhood or adulthood shyness, fear of negative evaluations or experiences in social situations, or performance-related. Rather, social anxiety leads to fear of one’s own emotional reaction, oftentimes linked to judgement, criticism, or humiliation.
