“You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.”
~Dan Millman
Feeling stuck in a worry loop lately?
You are not alone if you’ve been noticing an increase in the following patterns with anxiety:
Experiencing feelings of panic or dread without always a preceding event
Feeling overwhelmed with tasks, but needing to stay busy in order to feel productive
Restless nights or difficulty falling asleep because you can’t seem to shut your mind off
Feeling like things have to be perfect in order, or “just right”, for you to do them
Feeling more nervous, stress, or on edge than normal
Having sudden changes in your appetite or appearance
Difficulty focusing your attention on certain tasks, finding your mind wandering more than normal
Noticing you are feeling more irritable or angry when you can’t control the situations or people around you
Often comparing yourself to others, never feeling good enough
Getting stuck in the mode of overthinking or overanalyzing everything you do
Finding yourself avoiding places or situations
Feeling stuck repeating the same compulsions to try and minimize anxious thoughts
Anxiety therapy can look different based on your symptoms of anxiety, but our initial priority is to help you feel more in control physically and less chaotic mentally.
Together we can build a foundation that allows you to breathe more freely without the weight of anxiety weighing you down.
Addressing these anxiety and stress symptoms can lead you to feeling more:
Confident in expressing your feelings to others
Decrease feelings of panic or overwhelm
In control of how you respond to anxious thought patterns
Calm during certain situations, rather than persistent overthinking
Independent in living how YOU want to live it
