One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Roanoke Counseling for Anxiety, Worry, & Stress
Anxiety and fear are common and affect more people than you may expect. However, we often have difficulty discerning between the two. Fear is generally a response to a real or perceived threat and is usually tied to something very specific. On the other hand, anxiety is typically characterized by the general feeling of continual worry or stress, and it’s usually difficult to pinpoint the source of this worry or anxiety on your own. Not only is anxiety common, but it’s normal. Almost everyone experiences anxiety at some point in their lives, but it is when anxiety becomes a constant presence in your life that it translates into a serious problem.
