What is Group Therapy?
Are you frequently irritated? Having difficulty sleeping? Feel ready to snap?
We feel the effects of anxiety on our bodies. Elevated heart rate. Sweaty palms. Insomnia. Panic attacks. Headaches. Back pain. Gastrointestinal problems.
We feel the effects of anxiety on our minds. Nervousness. Difficulty concentrating. Dwelling on negative thoughts. Fear of rejection. Do you find yourself responding to anxiety in damaging ways?
