Anxiety

OVerview

Anxiety is a symptom. More often it is anticipatory anxiety and is a reflection of some unconscious problem that the person is experiencing. Their unconscious is attempting to warn them that they are getting into trouble. We try to identify why they believe that they are getting into trouble. Anxiety is difficult to treat because people often get anxious about their anxiety. Part of the treatment is getting past this initial anxiety, and helping people recognize that anxiety is a signal to them of something else. It is an alarm that goes off to help them see that they are getting into trouble.
