“With the new day comes new strengths and new thoughts.” -Eleanor Roosevelt

Anxiety is considered a normal reaction to a stressor. Some individuals experience anxiety that is persistent, seemingly uncontrollable, and overwhelming. If it’s an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it can even be disabling. When anxiety interferes with daily activities, you may have an anxiety disorder. Anxiety can manifest through feelings of nervousness, pessimism, exssesive worry, obsessive thinking, perfectionism, catastrophizing, guilt and shame.

Everyone feels some level of anxiety once in a while. But overwhelming, recurring, or “out of nowhere” fear can deeply impact people. When anxiety interferes like this, talking to a therapist can help.

In therapy, you can identify undelying reasons that cause your anxiety and learn the tools to manage it.
