My go-to approach for treating anxiety is normalizing it and then teaching clients how to recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. I find the best benefit is knowing anxiety can be your friend and it can teach you something you need or aren't getting. It's good to be curious and not avoidant!
I teach the following tools:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when they report they are doing the skills they have learned in session and see that it works or helps.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy by listening to podcasts dedicated to mental health issues, exercise, and physical movement and connecting to activities that bring joy.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can take a deep breath and be proud of taking the first step to making changes. You can identify what it will look and feel like when it is better so you can have a tangible goal to work toward.
