Everyone feels anxiety at some points in life, whether it be on a first date, during a public speech, or after hearing a weird noise in the middle of the night. Anxiety in situations like these certainly has its benefits. Not only does it help us recognize times of danger and act accordingly but it can also push us to achieve our goals and do our best.

However, when you’re experiencing an anxiety disorder, these feelings of anxiety are often exaggerated or misplaced. You may feel a knot in your stomach for no reason at all. You may experience anxiety in social situations that prevent you from forming relationships with new people. When anxiety starts interfering with your life, it is a good idea to consider seeking out the guidance and support of a licensed professional.

Anxiety is a serious mental illness and can have a long-term impact on both your physical and mental health. It can stop you from trying new things and going for opportunities and relationships that would lead to a happier and more fulfilling life. This makes seeking out therapy for anxiety all the more important.

Taking the first step towards getting help may feel daunting but at Thriveworks we’re here to make it as easy as possible. We offer in-person and online appointments during the week, in the evenings, and even on weekends.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming but it doesn’t have to control your life. Speak to a mental health professional today at Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ.

What Are Common Anxiety Symptoms?

Past experiences, genetics, and environmental factors can all contribute to anxiety disorders. There are many types of anxiety and people can experience them in different ways; even so, some of the most common anxiety symptoms include:

  • Panic attacks
  • Persistent feelings of unease
  • Pounding or increasing heart rate
  • Agitation and irritability
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Muscle tension
  • Restlessness
  • Excessive worrying
  • Substance abuse
  • Insomnia or other changes in sleep patterns
  • Upset stomach or loss of appetite
  • Self-imposed social isolation

One of the most commonly experienced forms of anxiety is called generalized anxiety disorder. If you’re experiencing anxiety symptoms over a long period of time and tend to worry a great deal about daily stressors, this may be a sign of generalized anxiety disorder.

Other forms of anxiety include panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (ODC), and postpartum depression.

If you’re struggling with anxiety symptoms that are getting in the way of your life, consider making an appointment. For a trusted source of anxiety counseling, licensed counselors are standing by at Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ.

How Can Anxiety Therapy Help?

While feeling anxious in certain situations may be inevitable, therapists can use many types of therapy to help you manage your symptoms and live a happier and more fulfilled life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most common types of talk therapy a counselor can use to help you overcome symptoms of anxiety. With the help of a therapist, you can learn to retrain your brain, finding new ways to approach and process anxiety to alleviate symptoms. You may learn more effective thinking patterns, coping skills, and relaxation techniques (like deep breathing and meditation) to reduce short-term and long-term anxiety symptoms.

If you’re suffering from PTSD or dealing with a particular phobia, your counselor may choose to treat you with exposure therapy. Clients who undergo exposure therapy learn to face an otherwise overwhelming situation in safe and manageable steps. In this way, you can gradually train your body’s anxiety response and learn to manage symptoms.

If you’re experiencing anxiety symptoms and don’t know where to turn, the experts at Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ are here to help. Make an appointment today to get started.
