anxiety and stress counselling.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a responses that is triggered by an event. It can also be accumulative stress. Anxiety is your body's way of telling you that it is not safe, is ready for the fight or flight response and that it would like you to relieve that fear or tension and return to normal (homeostasis). Stress and anxiety are not always bad. In the short term, they can help you overcome a challenge or dangerous situation. Examples of everyday stress and anxiety include worrying about finding a job, feeling nervous before a big test, or being embarrassed in certain social situations.
Chronic Stress
Chronic stress causes frustration, agitated nerves, anger and muddled thinking. When the nervous system is constantly on edge, the adrenals produce negative hormones with very few triggers. Our ability to handle stress can reduce over time. In fact, these stress hormones will deplete happy hormones - which helps with concentration and the ability to cope. On a long term basis, this can lead to both anxiety and depression.
Consequently, frequent anxiety is designed to tell you that it wants you to change something about your life. If you know what is causing it, you can adjust your lifestyle to reduce your anxiety. However, anxiety has begun to interfere with your life every day, it may indicate a more serious issue, such as childhood trauma, value conflict or limiting beliefs. If you are avoiding situations due to irrational fears, constantly worrying, or experiencing severe anxiety - such as panic attacks, it may be time to try counselling. Together we can work out what it is that triggers your anxiety and make a plan with strategies to reduce the discomfort.
