Anxiety

Does it feel like you always jump to the worst-case scenario?  Are you having difficulty thinking rationally or calming yourself down?  Are you lying awake at night thinking about a specific concern or perhaps about nothing in particular?  If you find yourself having difficulty turning off your brain from intrusive thoughts, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder and we can help. 

We all experience fear, worry, and nervousness from time-to-time.  In fact, those feelings are a normal part of the human experience.  Anxiety, however, feels like an untamable, irrational monster that keeps you operating in overdrive and steals your peace of mind.  It can cause you to overestimate negative outcomes and underestimate your ability to cope with them.  Furthermore, anxiety can show up in uncomfortable experiences such as muscle tension, bowel disturbances, sleep difficulties, stage fright, self-consciousness, panic, irrational fears, flashbacks, perfectionism, and self-doubt, among others.

If this describes your experience, give us a call.  At Known Counseling, we can help you learn tools and techniques to help in your day-to-day experience, help you worry less, and help you return to a more calm and peaceful life experience.
