Anxiety Support Groups in Hawaii

This counseling group is for anxious moms. We’ve all heard of postpartum depression, but seldom do we discuss anxiety. Yet, I don’t know one mom who doesn’t experience any anxiety or worry regarding the care and wellbeing of their children. This is why I was inspired to create a counseling group just for moms. All sessions are done via a secure online video platform and it will be for 6 sessions, with an option to extend. We will cover a variety of topics pertaining to what you are going through. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

It’s easy to feel like you’re failing at creating the life you want, or that there’s something wrong with you, when you don’t have the support you need. Most people come up against situations in life that are too difficult to deal with alone. And sometimes worries or depression can become obstacles to living a full, satisfying life. You deserve to live a life you can enjoy, to feel loved in your close relationships, and to feel a sense of belonging. Talking with someone you can connect with can often help.

Anxiety Support Groups

What are the most common treatments for anxiety?

Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular 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 Behavioral 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.

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.

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.
