Anxiety in Young Adults

You do not have to continue to operate from a place where your anxiety is in the driver’s seat.

Learning to manage anxiety with ease and confidence is possible.

Your work with me will consist of creating a roadmap of what your triggers are for anxiety. We will take that roadmap and begin to identify thought patterns that you experience when you are in the thick of anxiety. From there, we work on coping skills that have worked in the past or perhaps are not working now and learn to increase your toolbox of skills.

 

Your anxiety has prevented you from living life to the fullest, but you’re ready to be present in your life again.
You’re ready for a change.

 

Anxiety is a normal human emotion that you will experience throughout your life. But, when it feels like anxiety is running your life, it’s time to seek support. In therapy, you can begin to work on identifying your symptoms, identifying your triggers, and learning new skills, like breathing exercises, meditation in your day, self-care plans and grounding techniques.

Through these interventions and support your anxiety is something that can be managed.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a fancy name for examining negative thoughts we have learned through our lifetime and how they impact our feelings and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is detective work on identifying negative thoughts that you may have about yourself, the past, the present and future.

    We then begin to start to identify more adaptive thought patterns, we do what’s called reframing, and refocusing those thoughts. We keep a mental inventory of how this affects our feelings and how they affect our actions.

  • There are 7 principles of mindfulness Non-Judging, Patience, Beginner’s Mind, Trust, Non-striving, Acceptance and letting go. Mindfulness is simply observing our thoughts but without negative judgement. The beautiful thing about mindfulness is that you are probably already doing this in some parts of your life and they are always accessible to you when you need them.

  • Recovery is a journey, it takes patience, consistency and being present in the work. If you can lean into these three ideas then Anxiety can be more manageable and less distressing.
