When Anxiety Shows Up …

Anxiety can make everything scary. It can make socializing feel overwhelming and excruciating. Anxiety can take up a great deal of space and time, imposing doubt and panic. It filters life through a lens of danger and doom.

Anxiety is protective – so much that it gets in the way of being able to engage in life. Anxiety is on the go, pacing back and forth. It has created a well worn pathway in the brain.

Although it is different for each person, below, you will find more information about what anxiety can look and feel like, and how InVision Therapy services can help.
