Do I Need Therapy for Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural part of life that could support our motivations and maintain focus. However, when anxiety becomes overwhelming it could interfere with our daily life. Here are some common signs of unhealthy anxiety:
• Difficulty sleeping
• Feeling tense or on-edge
• Racing thoughts
• Trouble concentrating
• Stomach issues
• Pounding heart, sweating, shaking
• Social discomfort
Quality Time could help you recognize the unhealthy affects of anxiety and recognize its power.
What Causes Anxiety?
Anxiety can stem from various stressors, such as:
• Bullying or harassment
• Job changes
• Abusive relationships
• Discrimination
• Loss of a loved one
• Work stress
• Financial problems
• Traumatic events
• Political or economic uncertainty
• Specific fears (e.g., spiders, germs)
• Performance situations (e.g., public speaking)
Avoiding these stressors can create a cycle of avoidance, intensifying anxiety over time. If your family has a history of anxiety, you might be more susceptible to this cycle.
How Psychotherapy Can Help

• Face your fears
• Break the cycle of avoidance
• Learn calming techniques
• Improve focus
• Sleep better
• Boost self-worth
• Uncover strengths
• Achieve lasting freedom from anxiety
