The essential feature of anxiety is acute apprehension and worry, and can include physical symptoms as fatigue, muscle tension, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, irritability, and problems with sleep. Anxiety may be triggered by a particular source, or by a variety of issues or events that we may not even be aware that are upsetting us. In therapy, we can help you manage the tendency to worry “too much”, and show you how to diminish unproductive anxiety. We use techniques such as muscle relaxation, biofeedback, breathing exercises, time-management tools, and other proven methods to reduce anxiety.  We also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ‘s methods.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Anxiety

​

Anxiety is usually characterized by constant and persistent worrying. For example, “What if X happens,” and “then Y will occur but what if,” – this cycle of worry continues! When you worry excessively, you tend to feel anxious, physically tense and overwhelmed. Many people with anxiety can feel that their worry or anxiety cannot be controlled – and this intense disorder is the part of their personality.

 

People suffering from anxiety – i.e. excessive worrying or uncontrollable worries don’t realize that constant worrying in anxiety is a perfectly treatable problem. In addition, guidelines produced by the Canadian Psychological Association recommend CT for all types of anxiety disorders. CBT is the most effective treatment to overcome anxiety disorder – which likewise has the longest duration of effect.
