Is It More Than Just Stress? Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is your body's natural alarm system. But when it fires too often, it becomes exhausting. This heightened state of worry and fear can disrupt your sleep, relationships, and joy.

We treat all types of anxiety disorders, including:

  • Generalized Anxiety (GAD): Constant, excessive worry about daily life.
  • Panic Disorder: Sudden, intense fear attacks with physical symptoms.
  • Social Anxiety: Overwhelming fear of judgment in social settings.
  • Phobias: Intense, irrational fear of specific objects or situations.

Common Signs You Might Need Support

Anxiety affects your mind and body. You might need support if you experience:

  • Physical Signs: Racing heart, muscle tension, stomach issues, or fatigue.
  • Emotional Signs: Persistent dread, irritability, or feeling constantly on edge.
  • Mental Signs: Racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, or constant overthinking.
  • Behavioral Signs: Avoiding situations or trouble sleeping.

How We Treat Anxiety at Hope Speaks

We create a personalized plan that fits your life and goals. Your path to calm may include:

1. Evidence-Based Therapy

Therapy provides tools to manage your thoughts and emotions effectively.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identify and change the thought patterns fueling your anxiety.
  • Exposure Therapy: Gradually face fears in a safe, controlled way to reduce their power.
  • Expressive Arts Therapy: Use creativity to process difficult emotions words can't capture.

2. Targeted Medication Management

For some, medication offers crucial support. Our psychiatric providers may recommend:

  • SSRIs/SNRIs: Medications like sertraline or duloxetine that help balance brain chemistry.
  • Precision Prescribing: We use a careful, personalized approach to find the right medication and dose for you.

3. Practical Lifestyle Strategies

Small changes create big shifts in managing anxiety daily.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between normal stress and an anxiety disorder?

Stress is a reaction to an external cause, like a busy week at work, and fades once the situation resolves. An anxiety disorder involves excessive worry or fear that persists even without a clear cause. It often feels intense, uncontrollable, and interferes with your daily life, sleep, and ability to function.

Can therapy really help with physical anxiety symptoms?

Absolutely. Anxiety doesn't just live in your mind; it triggers a physical stress response. Therapies like CBT and mindfulness teach you to calm your nervous system. You will learn techniques to slow a racing heart, ease muscle tension, and settle an upset stomach by managing the root cause—your body's reaction to perceived threats.

Will I need to take medication for my anxiety?

Not necessarily. Many people find significant relief through therapy alone. Medication can be a helpful short-term tool to reduce intense symptoms, making it easier to engage in therapy. Our approach is collaborative; we will only discuss medication if it aligns with your goals and you feel it could be beneficial.

How quickly can I expect to feel better?

Many people start to feel some relief after just a few therapy sessions as they learn practical coping skills. Significant, lasting change often develops over several months of consistent practice. The timeline depends on your unique situation, and we will work together to ensure you feel progress at a comfortable pace.
