ANXIETY

A certain level of anxiety is normal, it alerts us to threats. When anxiety feels deeper it stops us from living fully. It might be connected with childhood experiences, self-worth, inner criticism, relationships or perhaps you have had a health scare. I will explore what your anxiety is like for you, in your inner world, and work towards opening up the possibility of change.

Is there more anxiety now than ever? There are good reasons to worry about the state of the world and there is a greater awareness about general and social anxiety. You may be anxious because your internet use is giving you ‘digital overwhelm’, making you anxious about what others think of you and fearing that you are missing out. Maybe you have been shamed and unfairly judged by others on social media.

Some anxiety feels self-imposed. Do you feel anxious if you don’t come up to the standards you set, or if you don’t feel perfect? Perhaps you feel like an impostor and you will be found out. All these things can cause anxiety, tension, pressure and constant worry.
