Don’t Face Anxiety Alone

While depression tends to linger on the past, anxiety often keeps us worrying about what’s around the corner.

For many, anxiety means fretting about getting recognized for achievements at work, finding fulfillment in your career, reaching relationship milestones, or simply navigating those tricky social situations.

Sometimes these worries show up as restlessness or trouble sleeping, and if we don’t take action, chronic anxiety could lead to panic disorder, which is like regular anxiety but with a more intense feel.

It’s important to remember that while a little stress can help push us to accomplish our goals and meet deadlines, avoiding anxiety therapy can lead to overwhelming feelings filled with obsessive thoughts, worries, confusion, and restlessness.

Many people notice they feel more irritable, frustrated, and despondent during anxiety counseling. Physical symptoms like trembling, sweating, rapid heartbeat, nausea, and breathlessness may also happen.

Plus, anxiety can cause headaches, insomnia, tummy troubles, and feelings of dizziness. When symptoms hit suddenly, it’s often called a “panic attack.”

Dear Portland Residents. Chronic anxiety can often trace back to slight or major traumas from childhood or our early life. Studies show that anxiety therapy is typically the best way to tackle anxiety disorders because it focuses on understanding the root causes and not just masking the symptoms; that’s where our Portland based practice steps in to help!
