When should you seek anxiety counselling?
Anxiety and worries can be adaptive when they assist in identifying of real threats. Anxiety can help you stay motivated and attentive. But when anxiety is a way of life, or it’s taking over your life, it’s time to take action and seek the support of anxiety counselling to help you.
It’s common to feel nervous or tense when they face a stressful situation like a job interview or an exam. But when anxiety and worries occur so frequently that you develop ineffective coping responses to fear and it prevents you from engaging in everyday activities, you may wish to explore the causes of your feelings.
Anxiety is a real disorder, and the symptoms can be debilitating.
