Anxiety
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural emotional response characterized by feelings of excessive worry, apprehension, and unease. It can manifest as physical symptoms, such as increased heart rate and restlessness, as well as cognitive symptoms, like intrusive thoughts and difficulty concentrating or making decisions. In therapy, anxiety is explored with the aim of understanding its underlying causes, managing its effects, and developing strategies to navigate and reduce its impact on daily functioning.

- Encounter a safe space for you to express your emotions openly, reducing feelings of isolation and promoting emotional regulation.
