Anxiety can stem from so many issues. Whether it stems from work, relationships, health, or financial issues, anxiety can feel overwhelming and debilitating. Many clients come to us after exhausting themselves in attempts to avoid their anxiety, which unfortunately tends to be counterproductive.

Anxiety is a broad term that includes various disorders characterized by excessive worry, fear, or nervousness. Some common types of anxiety disorders are:

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Involves persistent and excessive worry about everyday situations, often without a clear reason.
• Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD): Characterized by an intense fear of social situations and scrutiny from others, leading to avoidance of social interactions.
• Panic Disorder: Marked by sudden and recurrent panic attacks that come with physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and feelings of impending doom.
• Specific Phobias: Involves intense and irrational fears of specific objects or situations, like heights, spiders, or flying.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Combines intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) with repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to relieve anxiety.
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Occurs after experiencing a traumatic event, leading to persistent re-experiencing of the trauma, avoidance of reminders, and heightened arousal.
• Separation Anxiety Disorder: Often observed in children but can persist into adulthood, characterized by excessive anxiety concerning separation from attachment figures.
• Agoraphobia: Involves fear of situations or places where escape might be difficult, leading to avoidance of those environments.

It's important to note that anxiety disorders can coexist, and individuals may experience symptoms from multiple categories. Each type of anxiety disorder requires specific approaches for diagnosis and treatment, which may include therapy, medication, or a combination of both.
