You've handled
anxiety
in the past. You pushed through, kept your head above water, survived. You've shrugged off healthy habits and are too tired to take advice like 'exercise, take breaks and have some fun.' You think, "I'll be better when (blank) happens." But will it? So you bury thoughts and feelings, keep moving, and distract yourself from exhaustion, cynicism and worst case scenario thoughts. What you need might not be more advice. You could probably use more motivation to deal with irritability and confront damaging self-talk. Is there any way to calm your anxious mind and be more kind and present with yourself and others?

The first step towards change is often the most difficult step to make, but so powerful. You may seek support now because you feel like your emotions are out of control. You may also feel the need to control your environment to prevent stress. This stress may show up in your body as anger, sadness, fatigue, racing thoughts, or difficulty concentrating. You may isolate yourself from people, places, and things to prevent
anxiety
. Maybe you have blocked out all or part of an event that you now struggle to understand. If you identify with this, you may be struggling to find balance in your life, following a traumatic experience.

As someone that, at different times in my life, has sought out therapy I can appreciate how difficult taking that first step to reach out can be. During these unprecedented times, many people are enduring feelings of depression, grief, and

Anxiety Therapists
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.
