Are you dreading another day of waking up overwhelmed by worry, sadness, and the feeling that you are losing control? Maybe you have experienced things that have you feeling weighed down by an unshakeable weight. Anxiety and trauma can feel like being numb one moment then on-edge or jumpy the next. You may find yourself irritable at times and wanting to avoid lots of things to maintain calm, making it difficult to manage everyday tasks and healthy relationships. These heavy feelings can yield what feels like chaos and helplessness in our lives. Therapy is the next best step and gives you the ability to navigate these feelings.
