What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Anxiety?
Some people experience anxiety occasionally, while others experience it daily. As with depression, there are many types, symptoms, causes, and effects of anxiety. That being said, the following are common indicators of anxiety:
- Excessive worry
- Irritability
- Restlessness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Racing or unwanted thoughts
- Fatigue
- Sweating
- Insomnia
- Trembling
These symptoms are difficult to deal with and can seriously harm your mental health and overall well-being. If you feel anxious daily, or you experience anxiety in specific situations, talk to a professional about it. They can help you to understand where your anxiety is coming from and how to best manage it. Additionally, they can explore the possibility of an anxiety disorder, such as generalized anxiety, social phobia, or another type. Whatever the case may be, an anxiety counselor or therapist at Thriveworks Alexandria can help.
How Does Anxiety Counseling Work?
Because anxiety can differ between one individual and another, the counselors at Thriveworks Alexandria will first work to understand your unique experience and presentation. Then, they will formulate a treatment plan that will best help you live a happy, healthy life again. This will likely involve changing thinking patterns.
Anxiety is often a result of negative thinking. Many of us engage in this bad habit. For example, when we walk out the door, we ruminate over a bad hair day or poor outfit choice; we assume that people are talking behind our backs or thinking poorly of us, and more. When we engage in these types of mental deceptions, it can lead to anxiety. Your counselor will work with you to target and change these negative thoughts so that you can have an anxious-free mind again.
If your anxiety goes deeper than negative thinking, don’t worry. Counseling for anxiety doesn’t stop at changing negative thoughts. Your anxiety therapist at Thriveworks Counseling Alexandria will use other approaches too, to help you manage your anxiety and live better.
