Therapy can help! Anxiety can prevent a person from truly engaging in life in a way that feels fulfilling. Anxiety can leave a person feeling powerless, exhausted, and in some cases isolated. Learning to manage anxiety can free both the mind and body. Learn how to self-soothe, and begin calming your nervous system. Learn to engage with your racing thoughts from a place of curiosity. Effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, and panic attacks includes EMDR, somatic experiencing, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
