What is anxiety therapy?
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Charlottesville, VA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
How does anxiety therapy work?
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Charlottesville therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
How to deal with anxiety?
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.

Do you feel nervous in social settings? Does your anxiety keep you from making (or keeping) friends? Do you find yourself struggling with these feelings on a regular basis?
It can be difficult to determine for yourself the exact point when your feelings of anxiety elevate to the level that will significantly disrupt your life. The effects of anxiety tend to manifest slowly; and if left unattended, can often lead to detrimental results. Difficulty enjoying social situations and nervousness about public speaking are some of the common manifestations and may have seemingly minor effects on your everyday life, but the potential exists for anxiety to have much more serious results such as major health conditions including heart disease, gastrointestinal issues, and chronic respiratory disorders.
