Anxiety
Anxiety is a part of all of our lives in some shape or form – even if it’s that little bit of nervousness that gets us motivated for a big moment. Mild anxiety keeps us on our toes and safe from harm. However, anxiety and its counterpart, worry can be very debilitating, especially when experienced in more pronounced forms such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attacks or Social Anxiety. Worry can become constant and lead to cognitive distortions like catastrophizing, racing thoughts and sleeplessness. Anxiety is common and it’s important to manage it. I have a lot of experience working with anxiety and worry with good outcomes. Usually, I tend to incorporate some CBT with a psychodynamic approach. This translates to getting to the real source of the anxiety while learning some coping skills at the same time.
