Anxiety Therapy in Edmonton for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
When anxiety feels constant, a different approach can help.
When Worry and Overthinking Feel Constant
Living with generalized anxiety disorder can feel like a constant cycle of worry, overthinking and anticipating what might go wrong. It can affect sleep, relationships, concentration and your overall sense of well-being.
You may logically recognize that your worries feel disproportionate to the situation and still find them incredibly difficult to let go. Everyday decisions, responsibilities and uncertainty can begin to feel overwhelming.
Anxiety therapy in Edmonton can provide a supportive space to better understand these patterns, explore what contributes to your anxiety and develop ways of responding differently. At Reunion Therapy, our therapists take the time to understand your individual experience and work collaboratively with you.
What Is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) involves persistent and excessive worry about a variety of everyday situations. The worry can be difficult to control and may create an ongoing sense of unease, even when there is no immediate reason for concern.
GAD can affect your thoughts, emotions, body and behaviour. Experiences may include:
Persistent worry or overthinking
Restlessness or feeling on edge
Difficulty concentrating
Irritability
Muscle tension
Fatigue
Difficulty falling or staying asleep
While anxiety is a normal response to stress, generalized anxiety disorder can begin to interfere with relationships, work, sleep and everyday activities.
Generalized anxiety disorder therapy can provide space to explore these patterns and develop approaches for managing anxiety in everyday life.
