Speak to our Anxiety Psychologist Geelong, Surf Coast & Bellarine Peninsula
Anxiety can be tricky. Just when you think it’s loosened it’s grip, it reappears and your mind gets stuck on something else. Getting treatment from an Anxiety Psychologist Geelong, Bellarine & The Surf Coast can help you to gain strategies to more forward.
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is your body’s natural response to stress. It’s a feeling of fear or apprehension about what’s to come. Anxiety feels different depending on the person experiencing it. Feelings can range from butterflies in your stomach to a racing heart. You might feel out of control, like there’s a disconnect between your mind and body.
Other ways people experience anxiety include nightmares, panic attacks, and painful thoughts or memories that you can’t control. You may have a general feeling of fear and worry, or you may fear a specific place or event.
Symptoms of general anxiety include:
- increased heart rate
- rapid breathing
- restlessness
- trouble concentrating
- difficulty falling asleep
What does treatment for anxiety look like?
Psychological treatments for anxiety can be one-on-one, group-based or online via telehealth. Talking therapies can help us change habits in the way we think, and cope better with life’s challenges. They can help us address the reasons behind our anxiety, and also prevent anxiety from returning. At Happy Minds Psychology, we work with our clients to develop resiliency to anxiety, so that anxiety isn’t something that keeps on getting in your way.
