You’re More Anxious Than You Think, and It’s Not As Bad As You Fear

How do you keep anxiety at bay? Perfectionism, procrastination, people-pleasing, overthinking, repeatedly checking your phone, and stomach issues can all be symptoms that anxiety is hiding under the surface. Although many people experience anxiety, it’s not normal. At the same time, our negative emotions, like anxiety, are not bad – they’re just pieces of information that something important is going on. Insight therapist, Joshua Medeiros, points a spotlight on anxiety and shares encouragement for how to use it to benefit our lives.

Brittany’s Story

"My life leading up to scheduling my first appointment with Insight Counseling was pretty strained. It was not my first time in counseling—I had been in counseling for maybe two years prior to that, but I wasn't receiving what I needed. I had to take a break from work, consulting, training, and the business as a whole. Everything just had to be put on hold, which caused me a lot of mental distress. I needed help managing all of that."

Brandon’s Story

"I had moved, I had just gotten married, and I had just started two new jobs, two part-time jobs. There was just a lot of change in my life in a really short period of time. Working in a church like that, I would kind of consider it very much a helping profession. So, you know, focusing on other people and pouring into people, I was having some stress and anxiety about dealing with that chaos, and I needed a space to kind of speak that and breathe."

"I was 31 when I attempted suicide, twice. I didn't plan it, and I didn't understand what was happening in that moment. I just knew I wanted that pain and that hurt to just stop, to feel some relief and some peace. And thankfully, God sent small interruptions to snap me out of it. And the next morning, I went to work. But it wasn't until I was in a meeting, crying in a corner, that I thought, 'Help is not negotiable.' And within a week, I was working with an incredible therapist who started this recovery process by addressing my nature and my nurture."

"I am 100% on the therapy and counseling training. I think that anyone can benefit from counseling, no matter what life stage you're in. If you have family issues or if you have issues with transition, I think having someone in your life who you can speak to, someone who's an advocate for you, who is on your team and has your best interest at heart but has zero connection to the people around you, is something that is incredibly special and helpful and healing."

"I didn't realize until I was in my early 20s the dysfunction of my family and what effect it had on me growing up. Anxiety started to really build, and I began to understand what it was as it was creeping in. It started to affect my relationships with family and friends, as well as my more intimate relationships."

Carolyn’s Story

"I've always been a pretty high-stress, high-anxiety person. I feel a lot of pressure to be doing things constantly. There's a lot of demand, and there's not a lot of structure in my life. I felt like I needed help, having some extra outlets to be able to express those frustrations and be able to make them into something constructive."
