Anxiety is incredibly common – up to one-third of the population is said to suffer from anxiety disorders. Despite how prevalent anxiety is, there’s a lot of stigma that comes with asking for help. While we might try to rely on our friends and family for support, there’s nothing quite like the judgment-free guidance of a trusted therapist.
Anxiety sometimes makes it difficult to communicate your needs. That makes asking for help a challenge. Deciding to seek therapy can be a great first step to living an anxiety-free life.
Therapy Techniques
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) are both incredibly effective in addressing anxiety. Another approach, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), focuses on the impact of anxiety or other negative emotions in the body first, eventually leading to changes in our thought processes.
Using these tools, your therapist can help you understand your unique thought patterns and spot them as they come up in daily life. By recognizing unhealthy thoughts and their connection to your anxiety, you’ll begin to adjust your reaction to such patterns.
Past Trauma
Trauma from your past often informs current anxieties. You can remedy any lingering issues or concerns by delving into the root cause of such worries. While recalling past trauma can be a painful process, it’s often the key to developing a healthier mindset.
