Feeling tense, on edge, or unsettled can be hard to tolerate and can sometimes lead to additional worry and anxiety. You may worry about relationships, your own health, the health of others, finances, your job, or death. Perhaps you feel that you are not able to be present in relationships or pleasant experiences because your mind is elsewhere, worrying about the future or the past. Or, you might feel exhausted or tired given how much time and energy is being taken up by your worry thoughts and physical tension. Your anxiety may lead you to skip out on certain events that you would like to attend or to experience distress prior to a big talk at work or leading a meeting.

Regardless of what symptoms you are currently experiencing, you are most likely looking for a better way to manage the thoughts and the physical tension that can be associated with anxiety. Many NYC residents experience the same symptoms on a regular basis. Most people, however, don’t talk about it with others and some even feel shame or guilt about these experiences. In reality, most people have experienced one or more of these symptoms at one time in their life. Our NYC anxiety therapists are here to help.
