Anxiety doesn’t have to control your life.

Maybe you’re worrying excessively over everyday things, those anxious thoughts just won’t stop running wild in your head. Perhaps you’re feeling scared, tense, jittery, or just plain old sick to your stomach.  Perhaps it’s hard to make decisions because those what-if’s are so loud and that internal chatter is so busy putting you down.

Treatment for anxiety in Stuart, FL by Clear Intentions Counseling works by gaining insight on what triggers your anxiety, understanding the ins and outs of the function of anxiety and how this keeps you safe, and then altering the automatic views and reactions when faced with anxiety-provoking situations.

Maybe you struggle with social situations because you fear others’ possible reactions or because you’ve struggled with social situations in the past, therefore you’re assuming that history will repeat itself. Or maybe you fear feeling out of control at work or within your relationship, so you run play by play scenarios through your head of what may or may not happen to really get a grip on just how you’re going to react to any possible situation that may come up. In any of these situations, your racing thoughts keep you from truly being present in the moment.

What good is that? After all, the only time you truly have to take advantage of is the here and now!

During anxiety therapy with Clear Intentions Counseling, we will focus on understanding the purpose of anxiety and how it is meant as a safety mechanism (isn’t it funny how something that can feel so overwhelming and unpleasant is meant to keep you safe and surviving?). We will also work together to reframe your automatic thoughts and reactions in order to have a different reaction to the anxiety you are experiencing. Where in the past you may be flooded with thoughts of “what if, maybe I should, perhaps I could…” type thoughts, after therapy, you will face situations head-on with a clear mind with energy to be able to make sound decisions without feeling bogged down by anxiety.

Maybe you’re worrying excessively over everyday things and those anxious thoughts just won’t stop running wild in your head. Perhaps you’re feeling scared, tense, jittery, or just plain old sick to your stomach.  Perhaps it’s hard to make decisions because those “what-if’s” are so loud, and that internal chatter is so busy putting you down.

You may be constantly second-guessing yourself or simply avoiding things because anxiety is so darned exhausting. While we all need some anxiety in our lives – it protects us by warning us when we need to pay attention to something; too much anxiety can lead you to feeling like you are trapped and your peace and wellbeing have been taken from you.

Anxiety can show up in our lives in many ways. Whatever it is you’re experiencing, you’ve begun to notice the impact of anxiety in every area of your life: school, work, relationships. You’re tired of living your life in the shadow of worry and fear… and you’re wondering what to do.

If any of these things sound like what you’ve been experiencing, perhaps you’re suffering from anxiety and it’s time to seek some help. Clear Intentions Counseling in Stuart can help with this anxiety you are experiencing.
