Therapy for anxiety
What is anxiety?
- Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or fear about something that might happen. It is how our brain tries to protect us from danger, even if there is no real danger there.
- Anxiety is experienced by everyone - i.e. before a test or an important event - however, when it happens too often or feels overwhelming, it can negatively impact daily life.
