A cycle is born when these symptoms then trigger more anxiety/fear. It can be exhausting to focus on, and these problems can really affect your everyday life and choices. Trying to get rid of, avoid, or change the anxiety with breathing exercises, journaling, or other techniques can paradoxically make it all worse and perpetuate or exacerbate the discom...
A friend recently asked me how to find a therapist who would really fit for her sister. She wanted someone more extroverted than introverted, and realized that this isn't always the easiest thing to pick up from a blurb on the the interwebs.

I am here to help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and all the normal sorts of things that bring people to therapy in the first pla...
