Anxiety in Las Vegas
Anxiety is becoming an increasingly common struggle in today’s world and our society is full of stressors that cause anxiety, all of which become difficult to manage. If you’re dealing with anxiety struggles, we can utilize therapy to help you overcome it. Even if you’ve struggled to overcome anxiety in the past, that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible now.
Anxiety is the body’s natural physiological response to a perceived threat. When we’re experiencing anxiety, it’s our body’s natural way of protecting us from those threats to survive. We’re wired to avoid danger, making anxiety completely normal and necessary. If you didn’t experience any anxiety, you would not pay enough attention to the things that could hurt you, like a lion in caveman days. This automatic response from our sympathetic nervous system is nature’s way of keeping us safe.
In modern society, however, not-so-dangerous stressors can register as threats and trigger intense anxiety unnecessarily. Hectic schedules, being glued to technology, to-do lists that only grow bigger, and a deep sense of urgency to do it all perfectly can trigger the feeling of threats and anxiety that just doesn’t go away. Threats can be real, imagined, conscious, unconscious, physical, or mental, and the body responds in kind with symptoms such as elevated heart rate, racing thoughts, and activating the body’s fight-or-flight mechanism.
