Neuroscience-Informed Therapy for Anxiety, Panic and Phobias
“Problems can be experienced as… a chance for renewal rather than stress.”
– Marilyn Ferguson
Healthy anxiety at the right levels contributes to our vitality and motivation for optimal performance.
What Is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress—a survival mechanism that helps us react to danger. It triggers the “fight, flight, or freeze” response, keeping us alert and ready to respond. At healthy levels, anxiety can boost performance and motivation. However, when anxiety becomes chronic, it no longer protects—it overwhelms.
An overactive anxiety system may leave you feeling:
- Constantly on edge or unable to relax.
- Mentally and physically exhausted.
- Unable to focus or concentrate.
- Disconnected from loved ones.
- Overwhelmed by fear, worry, or phobias.
How Anxiety Impacts the Brain
When anxiety persists, your brain’s “fire alarm” system becomes overactive, reacting to minor or non-existent threats as if they’re life-threatening. This overreaction impacts your ability to:
- Distinguish real threats from imagined ones.
- Regain calm after stressful situations.
- Engage fully in your relationships and career.
Without intervention, chronic anxiety can harm both your mental and physical health, leading to headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, and a sense of being “hijacked” by your own mind.
