Common Questions About Anxiety Treatment:
What triggers your anxiety?
Anxiety triggers can vary greatly from person to person. Some common triggers include:
- Work or school stress
- Financial concerns
- Health issues
- Relationship problems
- Major life changes
- Past traumas
- Certain social situations
- Specific phobias
Identifying your personal triggers is an important step in managing anxiety. In our therapy sessions, we’ll work on recognizing your unique triggers and developing coping strategies to handle them effectively.
Can’t I Just Talk to Friends and Family?
If you have supportive friends and family, you may wonder why you would need outside help? Working with a therapist is unique and effective. Counseling is designed to be safe and confidential so you can share your deep and personal experiences. Our therapists can offer you lasting solutions to calm your worries and anxiety. Although having friends and family to talk to is great, they don’t have the ability to help you identify your triggers, handle your anxiety, and gain new skills.
How to stop worrying so much?
Excessive worry is a common symptom of anxiety. Here are some strategies to help manage worry:
- Schedule “worry time”: Set aside 15-20 minutes daily to focus on your worries, then try to let them go outside this time.
- Practice mindfulness: Stay present in the moment rather than dwelling on “what ifs.”
- Challenge your thoughts: Ask yourself, “Is this worry realistic? What’s the evidence for and against it?”
- Use relaxation techniques: Deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation can help calm your mind.
- Engage in regular physical activity: Exercise can help reduce stress and improve mood.
In therapy, we’ll work together to develop personalized strategies to manage your specific worry patterns.
What is the Cost Involved in Anxiety Treatment?
We believe that therapy is an investment in your emotional, physical, and mental well-being. The Relationship Therapy Center recommends that you try at least six sessions and then evaluate the progress you’ve made in therapy. Our hope is that you will learn new tools to calm your worries, apply them, and feel relief. You are in charge of your own therapy. And we want you to feel comfortable. So, we can customize your treatment for your needs and schedule. Therapy doesn’t have to last forever. Even a few sessions can help you gain tools to start to manage your anxiety.
I Don’t Want to Take Medication
That’s a personal decision. And we respect whatever choice you make. Medications often improve mood and can be an important part of a treatment plan. A referral to a psychiatrist can be discussed if you want to try medication. But, if you are opposed to medication, we will find a way to manage your anxiety through talk and behavioral therapy. Either way, you will experience relief from the things that cause you stress.
