Do I Need Therapy for Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural part of life, helping us stay motivated and focused. However, when anxiety becomes overwhelming, it can disrupt 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
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.

• Face your fears
• Break the cycle of avoidance
• Learn calming techniques
• Improve focus
