Therapy for Anxiety and Health-Related Anxiety: 
Breaking the Worry Habit and Overcoming Fears

When you struggle with anxiety.. 

• You tend to worry too much about how physical symptoms will affect you and impact your performance and well-being 

​​

• You avoid everyday situations and routine behaviors  because you fear you will feel sick/uncomfortable, you fear you will be overwhelmed by pain, or you worry that others will be negatively affected by your presentation

​​

• You are distracted by worries and it's hard to focus on tasks and being present with others

​

• You worry that you might never feel better and sometimes feel hopeless about managing or controlling your symptoms

• You may struggle with fears of ailing health and worry that your sensations are a sign of something serious (but unidentified).​

In the United States, approximately 36-38% of persons living with significant gastrointestinal conditions (IBD, IBS) suffer from related anxiety and impact to quality of life (American Gastroenterological Assn, 2023; University of Missouri School of Medicine, 2023). More than half of persons reporting chronic pain also have co-occurring anxiety symptoms (American Psychological Assn, 2023). 

Constant worry, feeling on edge and irritable, and avoiding places, situations, and people can leave you feeling like you are trapped and unable to enjoy life. You can even feel weak, tense, or unwell the longer your anxiety continues. You don't have to be alone in your suffering anymore. Schedule a call today to get some help.
