Anxiety

The worrying never stops.

You’re constantly thinking about what went wrong – what you could have done differently.

At other times, your mind is consumed with thoughts of eventual doom and the bad outcomes that lie ahead.

Life has become a constant calculation of all the possible ways you might intercede to stop the long list of bad outcomes.

It’s debilitating. It’s frustrating. It’s exhausting.

You long for peace, but it alludes you.

You’ve told yourself to “be positive.” Others have told you to “be positive.” It doesn’t work.

Sure, it helps for a split second, but that moment of positive thinking is instantly replaced by the thoughts that you’re just fooling yourself, and you need to face reality before you.

No matter what you do, your mind focuses on all the problems that seem out of control.

And they seem to be squeezing in.

You wonder if you’re going crazy!

The good news is that you’re not crazy; you’re just eaten up with anxiety.

Anxiety works like a security system looking for and warning you about potential threats. The problem is, it’s turned up too high, and seeing threats everywhere you look.

Think of it like the motion sensor on your outdoor floodlights being set too high. The wind blows the leaves on the tree, and the security alarm starts blaring for your attention.

But you can’t turn off the alarm, and you can’t reset the sensitivity on the sensor. You want just one night of peaceful sleep, but the alarm keeps blaring in your mind.

But there is help.

Through therapy, you can train your brain to be less sensitive.

You can find the right balance between responding to real threats and ignoring life’s normal ups and downs.

Wouldn’t that be nice? Not to have the fire alarm in your mind constantly being triggered.

Panic is replaced with peace. Calamity is replaced with calm. Paralysis is replaced with productivity.

Taking action is the hard part.

People who struggle with anxiety often don’t seek therapy because, well… they’re anxious about therapy.

The moment they consider getting help, the anxiety shifts toward all the ways therapy will be unpleasant, make things worse, or just be a waste of time and money.

The most powerful action against anxiety is to tell it you hear its concerns, but you have decided to take the step anyway. The anxiety will scream and shout and tell you not to do it. But if you follow through on what you know is the best choice, the anxiety will eventually calm down like a crying child who has worn himself out.

All you have to do is make one phone call. From there, we’ll talk confidentially about what is going on. I’ll present what I believe are the next steps, and you can decide what you want to do.

There’s no pressure… just hope.
