Therapy for Anxiety in Texas

Having anxiety is part of the human experience and can be quite useful for identifying danger. However, at times it becomes totally consuming, overwhelming, or even debilitating. Some people with anxiety end up dealing with anxiety their entire lives while others have “bouts” of it during periods of heightened stress or difficult situations. Many people have symptoms of one or more different anxiety conditions. In fact, dealing with anxiety is the most common psychiatric concern, and approximately 25% of the population struggle with it during their lifetime. The good news is that anxiety disorders are highly treatable with therapy. In fact, treatments for anxiety can get you lasting relief from them by learning psychological strategies.

Have you been experiencing signs of anxiety?

Most people have figured out some tricks to not feel so bad. In other words, there might be things, people, or situations that you’re avoiding in order to temporarily reduce your anxiety or other negative emotions. For instance, you may binge Netflix, drink alcohol, clean excessively, or stay really busy. Though these escape and distraction strategies can temporarily shut down uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, the discomfort tends to return a short while later. Another side effect of avoidance is that it’s not whom you want to be or how you want to show up in your life.
