Starting Anxiety therapy

What is anxiety therapy?

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Colorado Springs, CO can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.

How does anxiety therapy work?

Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Colorado Springs therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.

How to deal with anxiety?

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.

Symptoms of anxiety

Common symptoms of anxiety include:

  • Sense of impending danger
  • Nervousness/restlessness
  • Trouble focusing
  • Excessive sweating
  • Shaking
  • Headaches
  • Stomach issues
  • Fatigue
  • Panic attacks
  • Increased heart rate

What is the best therapy for anxiety?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.

Is anxiety therapy conducted in person or online?

Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual's preferences and their therapist's availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.

How long does anxiety therapy last?

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.

Is therapy worth it for anxiety?

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.

Need more help deciding?

There are so many things that we worry about. Even when life is going well, sometimes we find ourselves worrying about what could happen. We worry about our families, our careers, our health. Watching the evening news can oftentimes bring about fear that turns to us worrying about the actions in our cities, nation and even world. At times a person may feel anxious about everything and at other times, anxious about nothing at all, unexplainable anxiousness.

When your worry has gotten to the point of causing physical symptoms or keeps you stagnant in your life, it is time to get help. Living a life with anxiety is like having the joy of life being squeezed out of you. If you think you may be struggling with anxiety, you’re not alone! Thriveworks Colorado Springs can help – you can get relief soon. You deserve to live without the many symptoms that anxiety causes.

Symptoms:

Do you feel unable to stay calm and still? Do you have tense muscles? Shortness of breath? Do you have excessive sweating? Racing heart beat? These are only a few of the many symptoms that people feel with anxiety
Anxiety can have a dramatic effect on a person’s lifestyle:

    • “My anxiety is silent. You wouldn’t even notice a change on the outside, but I’m honestly so stressed I can’t even manage simple tasks. People call me lazy when in reality I’m just overwhelmed.” Healthyplace.com

“It’s sad, actually because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age”. Amanda Seyfried

“I over analyze situations because I’m scared of what will happen if I’m not prepared for it.” Healthyplace.com

Jerry was amazing! Jerry uses choice theory in order to help his patients grow and work through their problems. Choice theory was helpful through my relationship counseling but also could be used individually to helps each person grow themselves. Jerry used real scenarios in order to water down the theory, making it less scientific and more geared toward individual use. Jerry was patient, helpful, and very understanding.
