I use CBT. CBT gives the client the skills to challenge negative thought distortions and reframe their thoughts so that they feel more in control of their emotions.
I teach clients to challenge negative thought distortions — i.e., what evidence do I have to support these thoughts? I also teach reframing — instead of thinking “nobody likes me,” think “there are some people I may not get along with or see eye to eye.”
When they give feedback on the tools they use and how successful they are in using them, and feel more grounded and in control in an anxiety-provoking situation.
Meditation, exercise, listening to music, talking to a friend, and journaling are all great ways to supplement anxiety therapy.
Before your first session, identify triggers and how your body responds when anxious.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Mt Pleasant, SC 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 Mt Pleasant 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.
Anxiety is disruptive. It gets in the way of our thoughts and it seeps into our behaviors. We all know what it feels like to be anxious. We might feel anxious when our boss assigns us a big project or when we get into a fight with our significant other. This anxious feeling passes. Anxiety, however, is persistent. It keeps us from feeling well, feeling like we can live a normal life.
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S. Anxiety disorders differ in their symptoms and severity, but they all have one thing in common: they’re rooted in what seems to be an uncontrollable sense of worry and fear that can sometimes escalate into panic.
