Anxiety

A young woman grapples with anxiety, seeking support and coping strategies through West Area Psychology for a path to healing

Common symptoms of Anxiety: 

Anxiety often feels like an overwhelming sense of dread or fear, even when there is no real threat. This constant worry can lead to physical symptoms such as dry mouth, difficulty breathing, shaking, and heart palpitations. Many people become anxious about the possibility of experiencing a panic attack. These symptoms can significantly affect daily life and overall well-being.

 

​​​Psychological Treatment for Anxiety

​Our anxiety treatment involves two main strategies: relaxation therapy and mental calming techniques. Relaxation therapy uses methods like Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation to ease physical tension. For mental calming, we teach techniques to manage negative thinking, including "mental holidays" to take short breaks from stress. These strategies help individuals feel more relaxed and in control, reducing anxiety symptoms often within weeks or even days. They provide quick relief and build lasting coping skills for future resilience.
