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."

Brandy’s Story

"I personally have dealt with a lot of high stress at work and then experienced some changes in my personal life. I was having trouble identifying my emotions, regulating my emotions, and really setting healthy boundaries for myself. I really wasn't sure where to start, but I had two prior positive experiences with counseling, and I thought, you know, that is at least a starting place. That led me to reach back out."

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."

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."
