Virtual Anxiety Therapy for Stressed and Overwhelmed Adults in Southwest FL serving all of FL and DE
Living with anxiety is like being in a constant battle with your own thoughts and emotions, where every day brings its own set of challenges that seem insurmountable.
- Decisions, even minor ones, become daunting tasks. The fear of making the wrong choice, of triggering a chain reaction of negative outcomes, can leave you frozen and paralyzed, unable to decide at all.
- Social events are not just gatherings; they are arenas of potential embarrassment and judgment that can trigger a cascade of what-if scenarios. These scenarios play over and over in your mind, until the very thought of socializing is tainted with dread.
- The moments of supposed relaxation that are anything but relaxing. There’s the constant, nagging feeling of being overwhelmed, of life moving too fast for you to catch up.
- You’re sitting down to watch your favorite show, but instead of enjoying it, you’re replaying conversations from the day, worrying about what you said, what you didn’t say, and what others think of you.
Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed or worried. It’s a pervasive condition that can affect every aspect of your life—your thoughts, your physical health, your behaviors, and your interactions with others. Physical symptoms such as restlessness, fatigue, headaches, or gastrointestinal issues may be frequent unwelcome guests.
