My go-to approach for treating anxiety is to invite the client to bring more awareness to their body sensations. It may sound strange, but people often harbor an unconscious fear of anxious feelings, which tends to perpetuate anxiety. Once they are able to accept their anxious feelings, I help them to evaluate the actual challenges in their life in order to determine what the risks really are. I find it helpful to guide clients to realistically face their challenges because that usually results in the realization that their life is really quite manageable, which helps to puncture the power that anxiety has had over them.
I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when they are able to report feeling more at peace with themselves and their life.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy with journaling their feelings and trying to obtain a sufficient amount of sleep each night.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can make a list of the worries or concerns that keep you from enjoying your life.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Bensalem, PA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Bensalem therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Feeling anxious or excessively worried is something many of us experience. Whether it’s about a meeting with your boss, a difficult conversation with your spouse, or even venturing out in public, anxiety can significantly impact your daily life. If anxiety is affecting you at work, in your relationships, or in social situations, know that help is available.
The anxiety counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Bensalem in Bucks County are here to support you. Reach out to schedule an appointment with us at (215) 782-6844 today.
Determining whether you have anxiety can be challenging. It’s easy to dismiss your feelings as mere nerves, but often, these symptoms indicate anxiety that could benefit from professional treatment. Common signs and symptoms of anxiety include:
If you experience any combination of these symptoms, consider talking to a professional. An anxiety counselor or psychologist at Thriveworks Bensalem can help you explore these symptoms, identify potential causes and triggers, and discuss the best remedies. They can also help you understand different anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety.
At Thriveworks Bensalem, our anxiety counselors provide individualized treatment tailored to your specific needs. Together, you will develop a plan to manage your anxiety effectively. This process often involves addressing and changing negative thinking patterns that contribute to your anxiety.
For example, if you call yourself a loser every time you make a simple mistake, this negative thinking can lead to anxiety about trying new things. Your counselor will help you understand the impact of these thoughts and guide you in changing this habit.
The anxiety counselors at Thriveworks Bensalem are dedicated to helping you manage your anxiety and improve your quality of life. If you’re ready to talk to someone about your anxiety, reach out to Thriveworks Bensalem.
