Anxiety
People often come to therapy feeling that their anxiety is stopping them from leading a truly fulfilling life, restricting them from achieving their potential, whether that be at work or in their personal relationships.
We all have anxiety it is a necessary emotion that tells us about how we are experiencing the world, however when anxiety becomes overwhelming, feeling all encompassing and relentless it stops acting to protect us from real risks or dangers, and instead it limits us from enjoying our day to day lives.
For some people anxiety shows up as poor self-esteem, perhaps even impostor syndrome, it is often a very embodied experience which can feel relentless and intense and can develop into panic attacks which can be scary and traumatic.
