Anxiety Therapy in Nashville
Anxiety is your constant, unwelcome companion
It feels like there’s a big weight on you all the time. Life feels like it’s charging at you at 100 mph, and you just don’t know why. You’re constantly feeling that “what-if” feeling, no matter the situation. At work, at school, even at home. It sticks with you, and it’s an anxiety you just can’t turn off. You find yourself asking things like:
Does everything I say sound dumb?
What if I’m not a good enough friend?
What if this next project at work or school doesn’t go well?
What if I’m not as successful as my friends or my siblings?
What’s going to happen next?
These thoughts bounce around your head, and it never stops. They spiral. Sometimes they even make you freeze up, making relationships at work and at home a nightmare. Small talk can even trigger anxious feelings. This worry is something you just can’t shake, and it’s weighing on you.
Anxiety can make you experience:
Constant, uncontrollable worry
A “fight or flight” feeling
Negative thoughts that just don’t go away
A sense of panicked urgency
Trouble sleeping
Fatigue
Muscle tension
Increased heart rate
Irritability
Shortness of breath
Anxiety makes it hard to turn off the “what if” feeling, and it triggers your fight, flight, or freeze senses. It can make it hard to determine if something is actually a threat or not, with everyday situations turning into moments of panic and stress. People with anxiety often find themselves preparing for events that will likely never happen. Anxiety is telling them they need to be ready for any dangerous situation that might arise. Social anxiety is a challenge many people face, but understanding it through anxiety therapy will empower you to make a change.
