SPECIALIZING IN VIRTUAL THERAPY FOR
Anxiety, OCD, and Related Issues
There is a fine line between stress and anxiety. Both can create emotional and physical responses but there is a difference.
Stress is the natural reaction your body experiences in response to change and challenges. Stress is typically in response to an external trigger and once that trigger goes away, your stress level drops.
Anxiety is defined by persistent, excessive feelings of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. Anxiety doesn’t go away even in the absence of a stressor.
Although some amount of worry is normal, when your anxiety starts to feel overwhelming and interferes with your day-to-day functioning, it may be time to seek support.
Parenting a Child with Anxiety, Depression, OCD, or Intense Emotions
Parenting under normal circumstances has its highs and lows. Yet parenting a loved one who struggles with intense emotions, behaviors, anxiety or other mental health challenges can be frustrating, scary, anxiety-provoking, and exhausting. Parents often feel stuck and wonder “Why is this happening?”, “Why are they acting like this?” and frequently don’t know what to do. You are doing your best, but it doesn’t feel like enough.
Many parents don’t know where to turn or how to help their children. Rest assured…. there are strategies you can learn to help them so that they can cope and function better.
Often chronic stress and anxiety can lead to or exacerbate other related issues such as sadness, irritability, difficulty focusing or concentrating, and issues with eating or sleep. You may feel like “nobody gets it” and want to be alone more often than before. Or you may be disinterested in activities that you previously enjoyed. It can also contribute to the reemergence of previous trauma or symptoms that you had previously been able to manage.
These stressors can lead to difficulties in your interpersonal relationships, your work or simply affect your day-to-day functioning. This isn’t uncommon and we can explore ways to address this so that you can resume a healthier balance in your life.
Share your thoughts, worries, and joys in a safe space. Your story deserves to be heard and understood.
