Parenthood can be a very challenging road, especially for new parents. It’s difficult to navigate between one’s dreams and expectations of pregnancy/childbirth vs. reality, which can look completely different. Parenthood is a time of constant transition from conception to childbirth and beyond. Thoughts of trauma and loss can also come up during this stage of your life. It doesn’t matter how many books you’ve read, how prepared you thought you were or how excited you are/were about this new chapter in your life, it can still be difficult to manage so many emotions. That’s all very normal!

You know how to look composed. But what would it be like to actually feel secure? You’ve built a life that looks exceptional from the outside — the career, the competence, the ability to hold it all together. But underneath, there’s a version of you that’s exhausted. Running on hypervigilance, struggling with self-worth beneath the high standards, wondering why insight and hard work haven’t quieted the noise. You might recognize yourself here: perfectionism that never lets you rest, relationships that feel unsteady, feeling empty outside of your roles, or cycling between “too much” and “not enough” with no real off switch.

Anxiety Therapists
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 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.
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.
