One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what's really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that's being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
What Are the Symptoms of Anxiety?
Many of us are familiar with what it feels like to be anxious—but coping with persistent anxiety is much more difficult to manage. If you’re facing recurrent anxiety you may feel the following:
- Nausea or dizziness, rapid heartbeat
- Restlessness, agitation
- The sensation of being emotionally drained
- Difficulty sleeping or insomnia
- Racing thoughts that are difficult to manage
- Chronic fatigue or bowel conditions like IBS, acid reflux, or IBD
Because of the nature of these disorders, many people with anxiety conditions benefit from talking with a therapist who can assist in unique and dynamic ways, including offering coping strategies and helpful perspectives that allow clients to process their anxiety in daily life.
