Dealing with Anxiety

Anxiety can be extraordinarily debilitating. A major difficulty is that there is nothing physical to see, leading others to sometimes disregard the illness or even to feel that it does not really exist. To the person who is dealing with anxiety, this can be extremely upsetting.

There are a great many possible roots for the sources of anxiety and anxiety attacks and a full medical investigation should be conducted before beginning any form of therapy. When there is no apparent medical cause for the anxiety symptoms, the problem can usually be greatly relieved by modern drug-free therapies, though the style that you would need is not easy to forecast without conversation. Here are a few examples, though.

These first 'states' often respond to 'E-Therapy' or telephone consultation, and might also be helped greatly by having a chate with one of our resident therapists (more information later):

• Mild anxiety and worry on a day-to-day basis that seldom causes you to feel ill enough that you cannot function is more often than not linked to self worth or personal confidence issues, or poor self belief. 2 - 3 sessions can often be sufficient.
• Anxiety attacks in certain circumstances only can often be dealt with in only 1 or 2 sessions. Where the circumstance that triggers the anxiety is unavoidable, this therapy can change your life!
• Anxiety around a certain individual can be relieved effectively, though to avoid continual reoccurrence, you may also need help to resolve the difficulties within the situation that exists between you and the other individual. This can quite often be achieved by Telephone work, though sometimes face-to-face work is needed as well.
• Social Anxiety, often referred to as 'Social Phobia', can be eased amazingly quickly with skilled telephone or other live help - email is not so good here.

The following anxiety symptoms may need more 'in depth' work:

• Anxiety that leaves you feeling ill a lot of the time can be helped enormously with the right sort of therapy. It is probably beyond the scope of E-therapy, though telephone consultation can be helpful.
• Continual anxiety that stops you doing things really needs face-to-face sessions with a competent therapist, though telephone work will make it easier for you to contemplate this.
• Random anxiety attacks need some sort of investigative therapy, as a rule, to help you discover the reason for the attacks - in the absence of a medical condition, there will definitely be a cause. This is not generally suitable for E-therapy or for telephone work.
