What is anxiety? Anxiety is characterized by persistent and excessive worry about one or multiple things. For example, one may have an excessive amount of worry in several aspects of life (finances, career, health, responsibilities, parenting, family, household chores, etc). These worries can be major or minor concerns. Anxiety responses can be in the form of emotional or physical reactions. In small doses, anxiety can be helpful, especially when it helps protect us from danger. However, when anxiety becomes severe or happens frequently, it can become debilitating and can take over your life.
Psychotherapy can learn to reduce stressors and improve coping skills. There is evidence to suggest that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be successful in helping with anxiety, as during CBT, unhealthy thinking patterns that create anxiety are identified and challenged. Two other form of therapeutic treatment that may be recommended for anxiety are Relaxation Skills and Exposure Therapy.
Book an appointment today! Anxiety can grow and enable avoidance behaviors that can create harmful behavioral cycles and worsen anxiety. It is important to seek help from a mental health professional in order to alleviate your symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety is just one of the areas that LifeCycle Counselling specializes in.

Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Feeling out of control is a dizzying feeling that often takes you far, far away from what you truly care about (like the way you care to behave and present yourself). It can often feel self-sabotaging to give into anxiety and fears. I have the training to support highly stressed and anxious individuals to seek more internal security. This can get you back to feeling yourself and get you back to what you care about.

Anxiety is one of the most prevalent and challenging forms of human suffering. It can also vary in intensity from mild tension and apprehension to feelings of fear and terror. At times, feelings of pain and shame about anxiety may be so great that we may wish to die to escape. We also know that anxiety takes many different forms. For example, some people can have intense and sudden physical symptoms, known as panic attacks. Some people with social anxiety can become particularly concerned about social situations, fearing that people might see them as inadequate or inferior and, as a consequence, reject or avoid them. Anxiety is an important and essential emotion; however, when anxiety causes significant distress or when anxious behaviour impairs a person’s ability to function—when anxiety negatively affects a person’s life—we call this an anxiety disorder. As if feeling anxious and stressed were not enough, we can also become fearful of these emotions and try to suppress or avoid them, even becoming self-critical for feeling overly anxious. Together, we will work inwards to the root of anxiety and collaboratively manage the anxiety's intensity levels.
