Anxiety, Fear, Panic, Phobias, Social Anxiety
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health issues that people face today. Anxiety affects 40 million adults in the United States and women are twice as likely to be affected as men.
Does your fear hold you back from living the life you want? Anxiety doesn’t always look the same. Some common symptoms can include avoiding social events and other situations to avoid feeling embarrassed, negatively judged or criticized. Anxiety can include feeling extremely distressed at the thought of being evaluated and a struggle with feelings of insecurity. It can include physical, somatic symptoms like sweating, increased heart rate, and muscle tension. Some people might worry excessively about a lot of different things while others might have a very specific worry, fear or phobia. If you struggle with anxiety, fear, panic, social anxiety, a specific phobia, or general worry, it can significantly impact your daily life. Image if you could take control and find joy in your life instead of focusing on your worries and fears.
