Anxiety and depression can take away a lot of your joy. However, through therapy with Katherine Woodworth, a licensed mental health therapist of Fair Way Counseling, you can get your life back and rediscover everything a mental health condition has caused you to miss. Visits are available in person in Benton, AR, or online.
Are You Struggling with Anxiety or Depression?
It's normal to have occasional stress in response to a situation that requires focus, such as giving a presentation at work or trying to balance finances after a major home repair. The same applies to sadness. Grief from the passing of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, or the loss of a job could all lead to you feeling down and out while you process a major change.
However, anxiety and depression-related disorders happen when these feelings are continuous or recurring, and not helping your situation.
Sometimes depression and anxiety happen together.
Signs that could indicate you have one or both of these include:
- Experiencing worry, fear, irritability, or nervousness
- Feeling hopeless, empty, or worthless
- Having difficulty concentrating or remembering
- Having unexplained aches
- Suffering from digestive problems
Seeking Out Assistance
If you're suffering from symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy can help you overcome these challenges. You'll breathe a sigh of relief without fear consuming most of your thoughts, and you'll finally get back to giving your all when depression isn't trapping you in a fog.
Through therapy, in person in Benton, AR, or virtually, you'll work on changing unhelpful thought framings into positive ones that will make you feel empowered rather than defeated. For instance, instead of saying "That will happen," referring to something negative, you'll look at the situation from a different perspective and tell yourself it may have a positive outcome.
This also means changing responses you may have developed to deal with situations in the past but that are interfering with your joy in the present and contributing to your anxiety or depression.
Additionally, you and Katherine may work on your skills to manage episodes when you feel yourself becoming emotionally overwhelmed.
