Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety and You

Anxiety is a fact of life. Everyone experiences it every once in awhile. Anxiety disorders, however, are a different issue entirely. Anxiety disorders cause persistent, excessive, intense and frequent fear and worry about normal situations. Simply put: an anxiety disorder can leave you feeling so paralyzed about routine life, it’s hard to think about anything but that fear. Anxiety treatment can help.

In our therapy sessions, we’ll work together to pull the curtain back on what exactly causes you to feel anxious and worry. From there, we’ll practice coping techniques and develop new lenses for you to view your everyday situations through. Anxiety doesn’t have to own your life. With the right tools, you can get past your fears and live the life you want.

Dealing with Depression

Much like anxiety, occasional feelings of sadness are normal for everyone. It’s when those feelings extend for long periods of time and interfere with your life, then you are likely experiencing a depressive episode. Some of the activities disrupted by this kind of debilitating depression include:

• Taking care of family
• Spending time with friends
• Going to work or school

When you’re depressed, your mind often leads you down a negative path. Your head becomes filled with unuseful, untrue beliefs about yourself and the situations you find yourself in, which brings you down. Our depression therapy sessions will involve us working as a team to shift your thoughts in a more positive direction and retrain your brain to view your day-to-day encounters in a better light.
