These thoughts and feelings can be terrifying. With integrated approaches, it's time to let go of feeling stuck and trapped in them I ...

Your anxiety and OCD may show up in different ways: panic attacks, "derealization," obsessive doubting, or even with chronic IBS/abdominal pain. 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.
