Anxiety


Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?

- Danielle LaPorte

 

Anxiety is a common complaint of people presenting for counseling. It can be circumstantial due to stressful situations a person encounters in daily life. Sometimes it is residual effects from a difficult season or an incredibly painful experience. Our nervous system can be left frayed and unregulated after a traumatic event such as divorce, and abusive relationship, parenting, financial hardship, losing a job, a life transition, having a baby, sending a child to college, or any number of “normal” or “abnormal” life events. Sometimes it is a biological issue. Often referred to as “trait anxiety”, this is when a person tends to carry a certain level of what clients have called “body buzzing” or ongoing “edginess”.

 

Sometimes a person’s family system’s structure has fostered a level of anxiety so long it is difficult to recognize the difference between trait anxiety (biological) and “state” anxiety (anxious reaction to circumstances or a specific event) without the help of an outside professional.
