Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
If the experience of depression is "stuck in present pain" then the experience of anxiety is "fear of future pain". The core experience of anxiety is fear and fear is always about something in the future that we think is going to cause us pain as it gets closer and closer to the present moment and begins to become it.
We don't fear things that happened in the past...no need to fear them as they are past events. But, as we look at the future and as it becomes our present, we see what we think will hurt us and no one wants to hurt or feel pain. So, we begin to dread these things and the pain we think they will cause us. We begin to fear the experience of pain we are sure is going to happen.
The symptoms of any of the anxiety disorders include not only emotional fear and dread but also behavior: avoidance of the feared thing, attempts to dodge it, saying/doing things to protect oneself from this anticipated pain, etc.
Symptoms are also physiological: heart racing, sweating, feeling restless, fidgety, continuous chewing on thoughts about the feared thing in a vain attempt to "come at it from all angles" in our minds and so somehow lessen the impact we fear. We can also have gastrointestinal problems (the GI system is very sensitive to anxiety), problems sleeping, relationship problems, shallowness of breath, sexual functioning problems, and a host of other physical complaints.
There are some very specific tactics you can learn that will help you manage your anxiety and take your power back in a way that restores a sense of calm--and I can help you learn those tactics.

15 Years Experience
Online in Memphis, TN Tennessee
Memphis has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime in the United States, and its therapists frequently specialize in trauma, PTSD, and the psychological effects of chronic community-level violence and economic stress. The city's African American community — which comprises a majority of the population and carries a rich cultural heritage rooted in blues, soul, and civil rights history — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. Regional One Health and Baptist Memorial Health Care provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of community clinics. Memphis's deep musical identity sustains a creative community with its own distinctive mental health needs around artistic expression, economic precarity, and the weight of legacy.
