What Are the Symptoms of Anxiety?
Anxiety symptoms vary between individuals. However, if you have anxiety, you may experience some of the following:
- Nervousness, restlessness or being tense
- Feelings of danger, panic, or dread
- Trembling or muscle twitching
- Weakness or lethargy
- Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than your worries
- Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
- Increased or heavy sweating
- Insomnia
- Obsessions about certain ideas (a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder)
- Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience (a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder)
Receiving therapy for anxiety can help you uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, unburden the extreme thoughts, emotions, and sensations that go along with the anxiety, and develop new ways of addressing stressful situations.
What Are Some Anxiety Treatment Methods?
Mindful Child & Family Therapy offers evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to your unique mental health needs to help manage your anxiety. Some anxiety disorder therapies may include:
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (MBCT) – This approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with meditative practices focused on cultivating mindfulness.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy – While this treatment is designed for PTSD, it can be implemented in social anxiety disorder therapies. It may help reduce stress, panic attacks, and performance anxiety.
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) – DBT has been shown to help people manage anxiety disorders and emotional overwhelm by focusing on mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerance to unpleasant emotions.
One of our therapists will listen to your concerns carefully and provide you with a personalized treatment plan. We can also teach you ways to calm your anxiety while navigating the road to well-being.
