Therapy for Anxiety in Asheville, NC
You feel your throat tense up. Your hands and feet begin to tingle slightly. You feel a flutter in your stomach, but this isn’t love at first sight. As you walk into a room full of people, it feels as if you’re outside your body. In each interaction, it almost feels like you’re a terrible actor who doesn’t know their lines. When you fumble over a word, you tense up even more and what should be a trivial slip feels glaringly painful. You ask yourself,
“Can people tell I’m this anxious?”
“Why can’t I just act like a normal human being?”
“Am I talking too much.. too little?”
Anxiety shows up differently for different people, but you are definitely not alone. The prevalence of anxiety has increased significantly since the pandemic began nearly four years ago.
Thankfully, anxiety counseling is effective.
