Anxiety is characterized by persistent and excessive worry or fear that affects daily life. It can manifest in various forms, each with its own set of symptoms.
Common Types of Anxiety:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Chronic, excessive worry about everyday events.
- Panic Disorder: Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks with intense physical symptoms.
- Social Anxiety Disorder: Intense fear of social situations or scrutiny by others.
- Specific Phobias: Extreme fear of specific objects or situations.
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Recurrent, intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors.
In our sessions, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools, including:
- Cognitive Restructuring: Identifying and challenging distorted or unhelpful thoughts.
- Exposure Therapy: Gradual exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance and anxiety.
- Relaxation Techniques: Practices such as deep breathing and mindfulness to alleviate physical symptoms.
We offer a supportive and structured environment to help you understand and manage your anxiety effectively, develop practical coping strategies, and improve your overall quality of life.
