Learn skills to manage your worry
Worry can feel like a relentless chain of thoughts, often leading to anxiety and apprehension. It’s more than just thinking ahead; it’s planning for and expecting the worst-case scenario outcomes in situations. This constant state of worry can significantly impact your life, making it challenging to focus on anything else. I understand how overwhelming this can be and how it can make you feel trapped and exhausted.
How worry might show up in your life
Worry can manifest in many ways, affecting both your mind and body. You might find yourself constantly thinking about specific situations, struggling to sleep, or feeling physically unwell with headaches, stomach issues, or acid reflux. These symptoms are often accompanied by a fear of making mistakes, being judged, or facing the unknown. It can also lead to a constant need for reassurance, checking behaviors, and a fixation on worst-case scenarios. This relentless worry can impact your relationships and overall well-being, leaving you feeling drained and frustrated.
How CBT helps with worry
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective approach to managing and reducing worry. In our sessions, we will work together to understand the root causes of your worry and develop practical strategies to manage it. CBT focuses on changing the thought patterns that contribute to worry and anxiety, helping you to respond differently to the thoughts that trigger these feelings. By learning to tolerate uncertainty and developing healthier ways to cope with worry, you can regain control over your thoughts and emotions.
A life with less worry is possible
Seeking help for worry can be daunting. There might be concerns about the stigma associated with mental health, or fears about the therapy process. It's common to believe that worrying is necessary for safety, but this belief only keeps you trapped in a cycle of anxiety. I want you to know that it’s okay to seek help and that therapy can make a significant difference.
