Chris can think of a million things he’d rather do than confront his anxiety. It isn’t that he hasn’t tried—nothing so far has worked. He does his best to keep his anxious thoughts from affecting his job, personal life, and goals, but he knows that anxiety is still doing a lot of damage. His partner, Jessica, has suggested that Chris could benefit from talking to a psychologist but Chris feels resistant. He wonders what seeking mental health services could indicate about himself to his family.
After some thinking, Chris realizes that the best thing to do is try to talk to someone about his anxiety. Besides, talking to a psychologist might offer him beneficial insight and professional guidance that he might not get otherwise. The more he thinks about it, the more Chris realizes how much a psychologist could help him out.
Our psychologists help everyday people just like Chris or yourself to experience relief from the mental health challenges they’re faced with. If you think you might find value in talking to a psychologist, reach out to Thriveworks in Irvine, CA.
