Anxiety is the body's alarm system doing its job a little too well. A racing mind, a tight chest, the sense that something is about to go wrong — even when, on paper, nothing is.
It's one of the most common reasons people come to therapy, and one of the most treatable. With the right therapist, anxiety becomes something you understand and work with, not something that quietly runs the show.

- Racing or looping thoughts
- Restlessness and tension
