Anxiety Therapy in Manhattan
Anxiety can be generalized and persistent in our lives and at times it can disrupt our way of being causing us to lose a sense of hope and move us away from our career, academic or life goals.
Anxiety can present with physical symptoms such as physical tension, shallow breathing, migraine headaches. Also, it can manifest thoughts associated with self doubt about our present and future success causing us to feel low self esteem.
Anxiety presents itself in specific areas of our lives such as in our social experiences where we may feel as if we will be judged by others such as our peers or strangers.
We may also develop specific phobias to external stimuli such as enclosed or open spaces or irrational feeling associated with animals or objects.
Panic attacks may also be common, causing us to feel a fight or flight experience that can feel similar to physical symptoms associate with cardiac difficulties or losing control over our experience.
