Many factors may contribute to your anxiety
It can be frustrating when others dismiss your worries or tell you to “calm down” or “there is nothing to worry about.”
It is impossible to simply eliminate anxiety by avoiding it; you must learn how to change your relationship with it. Chronic or intense anxiety can end when addressed properly with the help of a therapist.
Anxiety therapy helps break the cycle of avoidance by teaching clients how to face their fears directly.
Our Vancouver anxiety therapists are passionate about helping you regain control.
