Many of us struggle at some time in our life with anxiety and fears of the past, present and future life situations. PhilaTherapy, LLC. works with you to identify negative thinking that triggers your fears and anxiety and begin to challenge and replace them to reduce your symptoms.
Anxiety and fear are completely normal feelings/experiences, but when the mind and body are regularly/constantly on alert, anxiety and fear can be crippling. Whether there is emotional work to do around this or cognitive behavior work and trauma focused therapy, anxiety and fear can be lessened and made manageable.
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health issues today, and this is no surprise. Being a human isn't easy; positive and negative experiences from our past inform the way we navigate the world. We also live in a society that values productivity, competition, and individualism. We are taught to measure our worth by what we have produced and achieved, and the pressure to meet these standards causes us to doubt ourselves. I believe we should set our own goals, pursue joy, and nurture our strengths if we want to overcome anxiety and find tranquility. And despite its prevalence, anxiety is highly treatable using a wide variety of approaches.
Do you worry all of the time? Have you wished that you could turn off your mind so you can relax or sleep? Do you find yourself doing too much or trying to control things so that nothing bad happens? Serenity Solutions is here to help. You can learn how to catch yourself when you get caught up in anxious thoughts, allowing you to refocus your attention on what is important to you instead of staying stuck in those unhelpful, scary thoughts.
