Anxiety
Adolescents (14+) and Adults
Anxiety, Worry and Panic
Anxiety, worry, and panic can feel overwhelming, often disrupting our daily lives and sense of peace. These responses, though natural in small doses, can become debilitating when they persist or escalate without reason. Understanding and addressing these feelings is key to regaining control and finding calm. With the right support and strategies, it is possible to break free from the cycle of fear and embrace a more balanced, fulfilling life
Anxiety is common and treatable
Treatment for Anxiety, Chronic Worry, Fears
Some treatments for anxiety disorders are more effective than others – for example Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Treatment works on stopping the cycle at all three points.
Note: There is a myth out there that CBT is somehow less emotional therapy than other
therapies – but the truth is, when done well with a close relationship with a therapist, it
is close, deep, emotionally effective treatment for certain types of difficulties.
Prolonged Exposure, Exposure/Response Prevention, CBT for Panic and/or Social Anxiety and
Agoraphobia are therapies that can accomplish lasting change in a short time.
This is certainly not an exhaustive list of therapeutic techniques, but it is a good start
to let you know that there are a number of evidence-based practices that are very effective.
PBS had a special not long ago called “This Emotional Life”. In it, it featured several of
these techniques – I highly recommend you see it if you are worried that you can’t stop your
anxiety, panic, OCD or PTSD symptoms. Click to bring up “This Emotional Life”
A Word about Avoidance : Avoidance is the enemy of anxiety. Though it decreases the
immediate anxiety, it increases anxiety over time
