Starting Anxiety therapy

What is anxiety therapy?

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Detroit, MI 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 Detroit 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.

  • 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.

Anxiety Disorders: Different Types of Anxiety

Anxiety can be separated into different categories, depending on exact symptoms. First, though, the following are common, general symptoms of anxiety:

  • Racing thoughts
  • Feeling of impending doom
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Changes in appetite and eating
  • Feelings of restlessness
  • Fatigue
  • Sweating
  • Nausea
  • Hypervigilance

The main characteristic of anxiety are those uncontrollable, racing thoughts. The other symptoms listed above may accompany those racing thoughts. Now, there are a few main types of anxiety that people experience. These anxiety disorders include:

  1. Generalized anxiety disorder. As the name suggests, this is a general form of anxiety. This represents the anxiety that people experience on a day to day basis in a range of scenarios and is one of the most common presentations of anxiety.
  2. Post-traumatic stress disorder. Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is another type of anxiety. This disorder can occur after one experiences a traumatic event, such as the loss of a loved one, a physical injury, or mental abuse.
  3. Social anxiety disorder. Social anxiety disorder, otherwise known as social phobia, is also common. People who suffer from social anxiety feel uncomfortable in social interactions. Often, this discomfort comes from the fear of being negatively perceived by others. 
  4. Panic disorder. This anxiety disorder is characterized by panic attacks. Many individuals mistake their panic attacks for heart attacks. Other symptoms include loss of control over one’s thoughts and physical responses.
