Anxiety
Anxiety is the body’s natural response to a “threat” whether real or perceived…things like an oncoming car in your lane, running late to an appointment, or having to give a presentation. It triggers the body’s fight/flight/or freeze response that manages how we react to these threats. Symptoms that escalate beyond the normal range of anxiety that could indicate an anxiety disorder include:
Signs of Anxiety
- Feelings of intense nervousness or being “on edge”
- Excessive worry about many things or specific things
- Trouble relaxing
- Excessive restlessness
- Easily annoyed or irritable
- Inability to shut off your thoughts
I use a variety of interventions with clients that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness and relaxation, and solution-focused strategies to manage adverse effects of anxiety.
