Anxiety Is Taking Over

It doesn’t make sense because you normally have it all together. And lately, you can’t try not to “sweat the small stuff” because there is no “small stuff” anymore. Every stressor feels like 1,000 pounds. You’re beginning to sweat or get nervous before work meetings. You can’t stop overthinking about what your boss or partner said (or didn’t say). You’re tossing and turning and having trouble finding sleep, leaving you irritable and exhausted at work and in your relationships.

YOU’VE REALIZED YOU MIGHT NEED A TAMPA ANXIETY COUNSELOR.

You’re even avoiding people or situations that you imagine might make you look foolish or incompetent. The thought of a social get-together, even with family, can induce panic.

You’ve been working so hard to keep it all together when you actually feel like everything you’ve built is going to come crashing down. Even if you could figure out how to relax, you wouldn’t let yourself – there’s always too much to be done or navigated.

You feel like you keep failing to meet the perfectionistic standards you set for yourself at work and in your personal life, and the judgment you’ve been heaping on yourself is suffocating.

If this sounds familiar, keep reading to discover how Tampa anxiety counseling can help.

Our Tampa anxiety counseling offers education about anxiety as well as many evidence-based strategies to help equip you to confront and overcome the anxiousness that has been destroying your confidence.

We help you identify what has been causing your stress and devise a plan to reduce your anxious symptoms. You will learn to view your experience with curiosity instead of judgment to better help you identify any thought or behavior patterns that are keeping you stuck. Together, we will devise strategies to help you move through the barriers keeping you from your sense of peace.

Sometimes anxiety appears without a clear reason. However, a Tampa anxiety counselor can help you identify stressors in your life and use evidence-based tools to help you confidently navigate your stressors.

Sometimes you won’t be able to eliminate the presence of certain stressors, but you can build your coping skills to reduce the symptoms you experience.

Some symptoms of anxiety (i.e. tightness in the chest, stomach issues, insomnia) can actually be indicators of a physiological issue. For this reason, we encourage everyone who is experiencing anxious symptoms to meet with their primary care physician to rule out medical causes.
