Anxiety is Normal, But It Doesn’t Have to Control You
Anxiety is a normal feeling that everyone experiences from time to time. However, if your anxiety is persistent, overwhelming, and ever-present, it may require intervention. Many people try to cope with anxiety on their own. The ways that people cope with anxiety, although they work with other problems, do not work with anxiety. In fact, you may be unintentionally making the problem worse by using ineffective strategies. That’s why it’s so important to use the correct interventions in order to be successful and see the results you want.
Can Anxiety Treatment Work for Me?
You may be feeling discouraged because you have suffered from anxiety for a long time – maybe for years. This is no reflection on how quickly you can recover! Many people who have suffered from a long-term anxiety disorders are able to make rapid progress once they use the proper methods. This is often the case because effective approaches for anxiety treatment can be counter-intuitive, and so are not easily implemented without structured support.
You may be wondering if you can manage anxiety on your own. There are some very good self-help resources for anxiety recovery, and I would encourage you to use them. However, anxiety treatment ‘homework’ assignments may feel daunting. Sometimes it can be difficult to maintain your momentum and make progress on your own. In those cases, it is best to seek a counselor trained in anxiety treatment as a coach to help you succeed.
