Anxiety Counseling – Counselors and Therapists in Tucson, AZ

Fear is a normal part of our human life and actually plays a vital role in helping us navigate it. It will warn us of danger with a tight feeling in our gut about a situation/relationship that could be destructive; send a signal through the body when we are not taking care of our physical health; go on full emotional and physical alert when it’s time to fight, flight or freeze. At it’s best; it helps us live more constructive lives by allowing us to avoid the pitfalls. For all that, we tip our hat to it.

When fear gets out of control, though, creating Chronic and/or Severe Anxiety, it becomes more like a pervasive, insistent cry that everything in life is a danger and protecting the self in each given moment is imperative. If you experience this, we know that it can be an excruciating experience. It can leave you feeling constantly raw and exposed to an unsafe world. If this resonates with you, reach out to Thriveworks Tucson for help.

Signs of Anxiety

Severe anxiety takes a toll not only on the mind, but also the body, which was not designed to be on constant alert status. Here are a few signs of anxiety:

• Rapid heartbeat
• Digestive issues
• Sweaty palms
• Restlessness
• Difficulty sleeping
• Dizziness
• Difficulty concentrating
• Dry mouth
• More frequent urination
• Experience of dread or avoidance of particular situations: social settings, being in the public/crowds/spotlight, new environments
• Obsessive thinking
• Anxiety/panic attacks

Eventually, this anxious state wears down many physical systems in our bodies, including immune, digestive, cardiovascular, hormonal and respiratory. Now, we feel anxious and physically weak… which in turn can produce more anxiety and difficulty focusing on any kind of solution. And, it becomes a cycle that’s hard to get out of.
