How Can Anxiety Therapy at Sweet Mango Therapy Group Be Beneficial?
Anxiety therapy is where you can feel safe exploring the root causes of your anxiety. You will be able to understand what’s driving your anxiety and learn how to manage it in a healthy way. You will have an anxiety therapist supporting you through this process. The therapist will show you how what you think or say to yourself will affect how you feel and what you do.
By doing this, you will be able to learn how to spot worries or negative thoughts. Then you can decide whether they’re worth listening to and hold a positive or realistic perspective. You will also learn how to “talk back” to the unhelpful worries your anxiety creates by recognizing and challenging them. This will help you to see things in more natural light. Which may help you identify real and imaginary threats.
It’s not about getting rid of all your anxiety but rather learning how to manage it in a way that doesn’t control your life. This will help you develop a more healthy, and more positive outlook on life. Which will lead to improved relationships, work life, and self-care.
