One might experience anxiety due to traumas in the past/present, challenging life situations, in social situations or as a fear response (phobias). Panic attacks are a more intense experience of anxiety, along with a host of other stressful bodily reactions. It is important to remember that healthy anxiety is essential and helps us survive and thrive. For example, it facilitates action while taking on new challenges. However, sometimes, it can feel overwhelming and crippling and that is when it becomes important to address it.

Therapy provides the following and much more:

• The space to express one’s struggles without the fear of judgment
• Tools to recognize and manage triggers and difficult bodily sensations that accompany anxiety
• Interventions that help you feel less anxious in your body and thus make way for other heavy emotions which are often too overwhelming to feel and experience all by yourself. Your therapist will help you to not only feel these emotions but to fully understand and process them to completion
