To set the record straight, anxiety is the natural reaction that we experience in our bodies when our brain perceives danger. It is a fear based emotion that can be very uncomfortable, and accompanied by physical symptoms commonly known as panic attacks, and it can result in avoidance. This is necessary in order for us to take potential threats seriously.

Anxiety becomes a problem for us when the threat that we perceive is disproportionate to the actual circumstances, or when the worry becomes chronic. Therapy can help you to regulate your thoughts, and make lifestyle changes relating to stress reduction, nutrition, sleep and relaxation in order to allow you to manage anxiety effectively.
