Do I need therapy for anxiety?
Anxiety is a motivational emotion that helps shield us against uncomfortable experiences.
For example, you might feel anxious when you drive in traffic because you are worried about the possibility of getting an accident or being pulled over by law enforcement. The anxiety motivates you to drive safely, check your mirrors, and use your signal light. In that way, anxiety can be quite healthy and useful.
Unfortunately, many people struggle with unhealthy anxiety, the kind that keeps you from being well and enjoying life. Some of the most common signs of unhealthy anxiety include:
Racing thoughts
Persistent and excessive worry
Worrying about everything
Difficulty controlling the worry
Restlessness
Fatigue
Difficulty focusing
Irritability
Muscle tension
Sleep issues
Panic attacks
While healthy anxiety helps us accomplish what we need, unhealthy anxiety causes problems.
Left untreated, it can affect your career, your relationships, and even your physical health. In fact, people with chronic anxiety tend to be at greater risk for high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, weight management issues, and more.
If you or a loved one have been experiencing unhealthy levels of anxiety, don’t wait and hope that things will get better on their own. Therapy for anxiety can help you confront your fears, cope in healthy ways, and enjoy a life of wellness.

How can therapy for anxiety help?
Anxiety helps us feel motivated to avoid uncomfortable experiences. When that motivation reaches unhealthy levels, a pattern begins to emerge known as the cycle of avoidance:
The cycle feeds itself over time and keeps us locked into habitual ways of thinking and acting. We become easily trapped by the anxiety, unable to make changes, and stuck.
This is why therapy is so incredibly helpful for dealing with anxiety – it helps you break free from the cycle. You and your therapist can work together to help you cope in new ways, confront your fears, and let go of worry and stress.
If you or a loved one are ready to give therapy for anxiety a try, Behavioral Medicine Partners is here for you.
