Jan is a high-achieving career person and many people who knew her wouldn’t realise that she suffers from anxiety. She knew that if she didn’t try anything and didn’t change anything she would never overcome her anxiety. The results she experienced after just one consultation were far greater than she expected.
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a general term for nervousness, fear, apprehension and worry that impacts our daily lives.
It affects how we feel and behave, and can, in most cases, manifest into real, physical symptoms, as well as negative emotional symptoms including:
Sense of helplessness
Confusion
Apprehension
Worry and
Continuous negative thoughts
Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling, however severe anxiety can have a serious impact on our daily life.
Often people feel a general state of worry before an exam, interview, test, or recital and these feelings are normal as it is the body’s way of preparing us for peak performance, it would in fact be worrying if you were not a bit nervous!
Anxiety is considered a real problem, when it interferes with our ability to sleep, or function normally.
Other problems can occur such as eating disorders, depression and substance abuse, etc so it’s very important to address Anxiety as soon as you feel any symptoms, ( see above ) emotional or physical!
Physical symptoms of Anxiety can be one, or all, of the following;
Shortness of breath
Dizziness
Heart palpitations
Shaking or even trembling
Sweating
Nausea
Usually Anxiety comes about from outside forces, but we can make ourselves anxious with negative self talk which is a bad habit of telling ourselves the worst will happen, a doom and gloom view of our lives if you want.
Environmental causes for Anxiety are ;
Death of a loved one
Trauma from abuse, bullying, and victimization
A lot of stress in a relationship , marriage, friendship or divorce
Stress at work
Stress at school
Excessive worrying about money
Worrying about natural disasters
Losing a job
Stressing about performance
And this list can go on and on, however..
A little bit of Anxiety is normal and necessary for us to survive.
