Anxiety is an intense emotion we feel. It's a normal reaction to stress, like when faced with a difficult situation. Its can alert us to something in our environment that feels off or wrong.

Normally anxiety can provide us with a safe amount of fear in difficult, unsafe, or out of our ordinary situations. However if we have experienced some kind of high stress/pressure, traumatic, normally unpredictive, or highly monitored/predictive environment as a child our anxiety meter can become extreme. We could feel high anxiety as an adult in a normal environment due to triggers that alerts our child-like mind that something is off, out of the ordinary, or uncontrollable. Which can lead us to wanting extreme control and anxiety that can lead to panic attacks. People with high anxiety live a life in constant pressure, stress, fear, and worry.

During counseling sessions a trained professional can aid you in delving into where this intense anxiety was formed, when it was formed, how it molded into intense anxiety, what triggers that anxiety, and how to ease your anxiety in normal safe environments.
