Anxiety Treatment
Common Experiences of Anxiety
When we’re anxious, our thoughts race, critical thinking becomes limited, and we feel sensations in our body. Anxiety at its core is the anticipated fear of what may or may not happen. From an anxious place, we imagine future scenarios that can go awry, ways we may fail, or not perform up to our standards.
Anxiety can become debilitating and overwhelming if not treated. We loose our ability to think critically which sends us into a fear based place of thinking and feeling. When we are in this place, we are on high alert for anything to go awry. We may not be able to be present in our life.
Symptoms of Anxiety
Anxiety can take over our lives. It may cause you to miss a social engagement or miss out on an opportunity at work because you feel panicked and fearful. You may seem fine to others around you or you may be getting questions of “Are you alright?” Additionally, you may feel shaky, fearful of being late to events, or unsure of where it’s coming from. The people closest around you may find it hard to connect with you when your anxiety has peaked.
While everyone experiences some level of anxiety from time to time, the following are symptoms of anxiety that we often see and help people with:
Frequently feeling nervous, restless, or tense
Having a sense of impending danger, panic, or doom in a particular circumstance or on a general basis
Physical symptoms such as an increase in heart rate, rapid breathing (hyperventilation), sweating, or shaking
Feeling exhausted by all the worry
Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than your present concern

Elevate’s Approach to Therapy for Anxiety
We understand the intensity of struggling with anxiety and have helped many others find ways to manage their anxiety. At our Austin-located counseling practice, we take a holistic approach to anxiety treatment. This helps you heal on all levels by taking into consideration the overwhelming thoughts, the panicked sensations throughout your body, and the deep inner doubts of your abilities to thrive. As an anxiety therapist, we will work with you on understanding where the anxiety is coming from as well as focuses on tools to manage anxiety in the present.
As we work to calm the mind, we simultaneously soothe the nervous system in the physical body in order to promote sensations of safety and grounding. When this safety is established, we begin the deeper emotional work behind the causes of these painful emotions in order to provide healing at its core. We believe in evidence-based and natural anxiety treatment.
