Anxiety - How Counselling and psychotherapy Can Help You?

Anxiety can be a healthy, natural response to situations, which can keep us alive and motivate us. As well as being part of the creative process in performing or doing the things we love to do before others or on our own - it can keep us "sharp."

Normal anxiety is a part of everyday living. And as it is useful, it would not be a therapuetic aim to get rid of constructive anxiety. But excessive anxiety can become paralysing and give rise to symptoms where we may feel separated from our true self. In trauma, our amygada can be set at an overly high level, and this flight or fight response can be associated with situations, people, words, ideas, places, actions, which can make ordinary daily tasks seem perilous or even terrifying.

Anxiety can also give rise to physical problems, such as skin problems, blushing, lack of confience, low libido, social phobias, embarrassment, and low self-esteem, and can fuel habits such as over-eating and smoking,

Counselling can help reduce excess anxiety and help the person form a new perspective and way of being which turns anxiety into an energizing, creative force, rather than a destructive force, and their ways of thinking and experiencing themselves and the world can change in line with their true self to realise their potential

This can give the person a whole new lease on life and have positive and dramatic effects on the way they feel and think about themselves, upon their relationships, social interactions, and career.
