Experiencing rapid heartbeats? Feeling worried or scared? Unable to control thoughts?
That might be anxiety.
What is an anxiety disorder? An anxiety disorder is a persistent and continuous worry that gets worse over time. A person experiencing generalized anxiety, the most common anxiety disorder, frequently is unable to focus on anything beyond one specific concern. This could be personal or job related. All thoughts and actions revolve around that specific issue.
An Anxiety Therapist or a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist helps clients with anxiety by listening to the concern. Helping the client see the intrusive thought and providing specific tools to combat the anxiety. Anxiety help may be learning how to redirect the brain or learning mindfulness tools.
