This helps reduce avoidance behaviors and desensitize individuals to anxiety triggers.
What is Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural human response to stress or perceived threats, characterized by excessive worry, fear, and apprehension. While it’s normal to experience occasional anxiety in response to life’s challenges, anxiety becomes a concern when it becomes excessive, persistent, or interferes with daily functioning.
Anxiety can present itself in the following ways
Generalized Anxiety: Persistent and excessive worry about various aspects of life, such as work, health, family, or finances, even when there is little or no reason for concern.
Panic Disorder: Recurrent panic attacks characterized by sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort, often accompanied by physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and shortness of breath.
Social Anxiety (Social Phobia): Fear of social situations and interactions due to a fear of being judged, embarrassed, or humiliated in public.
Specific Phobias: Intense fear or avoidance of specific objects, activities, or situations, such as heights, spiders, flying, or enclosed spaces.
Anxiety can involve both emotional and physical components, often accompanied by cognitive distortions as well as behavioural signs.
