3 Reasons to Try Anxiety Counseling
As Spokane therapist specializing in anxiety and addiction counseling for driven professionals, I know I’m biased! But…. counseling is pretty amazing.
Anxiety takes peace from our daily lives. Professional anxiety counseling can help you learn to recognize, reframe and cultivate healthy coping skills. All of which, ultimately helps you manage your anxiety effectively.
With personalized support from a licensed therapist, you will learn the skills and techniques needed to face challenging events head-on and regain control of your life.
Below are three reasons to give anxiety counseling a try:
1.To better understand and manage your anxiety symptoms.
Anxiety counseling helps you understand what triggers your anxiety, what makes it worse and best of all what to do about it. Through personalized guidance, you will learn healthy coping skills such as relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
2. To improve your overall quality of life.
Anxiety is exhausting. Through anxiety counseling, you will learn how to manage your thoughts and emotions, allowing you to reduce the amount of energy wasted on anxiety. From there you will be able to use your energy in ways that increases your wellbeing through cultivating meaningful relationships and activities.
3. To reduce the risk of developing other mental health conditions.
Anxiety often co-occurs with (happens at the same time as) other mental health conditions, such as depression or substance abuse. By reducing symptoms associated with anxiety, you improve your overall mental health and reduce the risk of developing these additional conditions.
In addition, through relapse prevention planning, anxiety counseling helps you identify potential triggers, so you’re better prepared to cope with challenging events that may arise in the future.
