Anxiety is an issue that is all too common, but fortunately I am well versed in ways to help people find a sense of peace and calm again in their everyday lives through counseling.
Anxiety can stand alone. And it is often happening in tandem with something else.
- 40-50% of people with a BFRB also have an Anxiety disorder.
- Most Neurodivergent adults also have Anxiety. Such as ADHD, Autism, and Sub clinical Autism (when it is almost autism).
- PTSD is an Anxiety disorder
- Social Anxiety is a specific type of Anxiety
- Re-entry Anxiety- when a situation is avoided for a long time, even out of necessity or circumstances, and it is time to that that think again. Like being in the community again after Covid.
- Sometimes just feels like the gears on grinding in the activities of every day life, maybe the emotions of fear aren’t even on your radar.
- Or full on panic attacks hijack or life.
The good news is that Anxiety is VERY treatable. There are several options to reduce anxiety, many are gentle and quickly restore your quality of life.
