Read Anoosha's article on Single? There's Nothing Wrong With You

Are you struggling with anxiety, fear, or worry?

Do you have trouble sleeping at night because of racing or distressing thoughts?

Do you sometimes feel that anxiety, fear, or worry is getting in the way of work, school, friendships, or your romantic relationship (or lack of one)?

Have you tried almost everything to manage the anxiety, worry, or fear yet nothing seems to work?

You are not alone.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, you’ve probably been told by well meaning friends, and even some health care professionals, to exercise more, eat better, sleep more, make time each day for relaxation exercises, sign up for yoga, or take vitamin supplements or anti-anxiety medication.

Guess what?

None of these strategies will work long-term. In fact, they can sometimes worsen the anxiety you’re experiencing in the long run.

How is this possible? What these strategies teach us is that intense anxiety is abnormal and must be avoided or managed to live a worthwhile life. This simply is not true. Intense anxiety is not a sign of weakness, ‘bad genes,’ or that you’re going crazy.

Anxiety is not the enemy; it’s the rigid avoidance of anxiety that’s preventing you from living a healthier, richer, and fuller life. Avoidance means you’re running away from the people, places, or situations that bring about unpleasant feelings. Avoidance is the leading factor responsible for turning anxiety, fear, and worry into serious physical and mental health problems. No amount of exercise, sleep, yoga, or anti-anxiety medication will help with avoidance behaviours.

If you’re tired of constantly struggling with the anxiety, fear, and worry that has been keeping you stuck for weeks, months, or even years, talking to an unbiased professional can help. Please don’t go one more day. I’d love to hear from you. Give me a call today.
