This group comes together to offer support to each other in exploring personal and professional concerns. The confidential setting enables a space where trust is developed so that you can become aware of how you experience others as well as how you are experienced by them. This increased awareness of relationship patterns brings about long lasting and creative changes that enables deeper and more meaningful relationships both inside – and consequently outside of the group. The group is relevant if you struggle with feeling isolated, insecure or lacking in confidence and wish to find different ways of connecting – both to yourself and those around you.

Why do actions arise from motivation but are still welcomed with frustration? The self-preservation instinct becomes an inner purpose for the unconscious and only a grounded self can face the challenge. It is well known that accomplishment should be an opportunity for self-fulfillment. Yet you rarely expect positive things to come. The future only seems uncertain, because of all the distracting thoughts you are trying to keep in order. It's difficult to focus, prioritise and commit to something meaningful while struggling to achieve control over your life. This is not the scenario you wish to follow.

Anxiety Support Groups
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
