Anxious? 

When we are faced with a real or perceived threat, we trigger our biological, internal alarm system. This system can protect us from harm and motivate us to action.

​

In stressful situations, feelings of uneasiness, fear, and dread can be a natural reaction. You may feel restless, tense, an increased heart rate, sweaty, butterflies in your stomach, or a heaviness in your chest. 

 

However, when we have these feelings in everyday, normal situations, this is when anxiety can become a problem. When our perception of a situation is seen as larger than our perception of the available resources we have to manage it, our anxiety increases. Sometimes to levels that interfere with our lives and create a constant feeling of worry and unease. This is not a comfortable place to be. So, let's figure out together how to do things differently.
