Do you feel tired of the headaches, stomach aches and shortness of breath caused by your anxiety?

Do you constantly worry that something bad may happen to you or your loved ones?

Are you wondering if you will ever find relief from your debilitating anxiety?

Anxiety can present differently for different people but normally includes some level of nervousness, fear, and worry. It can occur spontaneously, in response to certain triggers, or loom constantly.

With anxiety comes a full host of physical pain. Examples include body aches, headaches, digestion issues, fatigue, and more. Dealing with these physical issues day to day can be debilitating. The daily toll can even lead to a host of spin-off issues such as depression and isolation.

Struggling with anxiety is a huge burden for many that causes a marked decrease in quality of life. Inhibition and apprehension often prevent people with anxiety from doing many of the things they love. Furthermore, it can cause relationship issues such as an inability to connect fully with others.

Counseling can cost a lot of money and I’m not sure it will work for me.

I understand your trepidation. Counseling can be a costly and big investment. Further, many people, especially those who suffer from anxiety, have minds that go right to the most negative outcomes. What I can say to you is that counseling is an investment in yourself. It is an investment in making yourself a stronger, more confident, and brave person. A happy side effect of treatment oftentimes is professional and therefore financial gain. I can assure you that simply the act of trying out therapy will be a positive step on your journey to recovery no matter if it ends up being what resolves your anxiety completely or not.

I’m not in love with the idea of sharing everything that is going on with me with a complete stranger.

This is certainly a reasonable feeling. The thought of sharing your deepest darkest secrets with a stranger can feel overwhelming, to say the least. What I would say is that I am here to work with you at your own pace. Our relationship will grow steadily over time. You will never be asked to share anything you feel uncomfortable sharing at any time. You may find yourself even wanting to share more in therapy as time goes on.

I am thinking/hoping that I am just going through a phase and that my anxiety will clear up on its own.

Everyone has different life circumstances and experiences with their anxiety. I think it is important to be realistic about your experience, what has triggered your anxiety and how likely it is that it will pass on its own. There are scales that determine the criteria for an anxiety disorder online. You can view one such scale at the following link:

If your score meets the criteria for an anxiety disorder it is very likely that your anxiety will not simply clear up without a lifestyle change, therapy, or both.
