Anxiety & Stress Don't Have to Define Your Days
Finding Calm in the Noise
Anxiety can take many forms. It might show up as worry, tension, overthinking, avoidance of situations or a sense that your mind never quite settles. Sometimes it’s a racing heart, a restless body or the need to plan for every possible outcome just to feel safe.
While fear is a response to a real, present threat, anxiety is often the anticipation of what might happen next or in the future. And that can feel exhausting. Therapy can help you understand what’s beneath the anxiety, reconnect with your body, help you heal early attachment wounds and learn ways to feel more grounded and in control again.
Whether your anxiety feels constant or comes in waves, you don’t have to navigate it on your own.
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes persistent, it can interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Anxiety can affect anyone at any stage of life. Common symptoms include constant worry, difficulty concentrating and physical signs like fatigue or restlessness.
Sometimes anxiety develops in response to ongoing stress, uncertainty or unresolved trauma. Other times, it’s shaped by early experiences that taught you it wasn’t always safe to relax, express yourself or rely on others.
What Does Anxiety Feel Like?
Anxiety doesn’t always look the same for everyone. Sometimes it’s loud and obvious and other times it’s a quiet undercurrent running beneath everything you do. It can affect your thoughts, body, mood and relationships.
Here are some common ways people experience anxiety:
-
Racing thoughts or a mind that won’t slow down
-
Constant worry or a feeling that something bad is going to happen
-
Difficulty sleeping or staying asleep
-
Procrastinating
-
A sense of restlessness, tension or feeling on edge
-
Avoiding people, places or situations that feel overwhelming
-
Overthinking or second-guessing every decision
-
Physical symptoms like tightness in the chest, headaches or stomach issues
-
Feeling easily irritated or emotionally drained
-
Struggling to relax, even during downtime
-
A sense of disconnection—from yourself, others or the present moment
Everyone’s experience is different, but you’re not alone in what you’re feeling. Therapy can help you untangle these experiences and find a steadier, more grounded way of being.
