What is General Anxiety Disorder?

General anxiety disorder can cause a person to feel restless, worried, tense, and unable to relax. Anxiety counseling can help you boost your coping skills and recover better.

Everyone gets anxious sometimes, but if your constant concerns and worries often hamper your capacity to function and relax, you may have a general anxiety disorder (GAD). It is more than a temporary medical condition that can interfere with your daily life. General anxiety disorder treatment with your anxiety counselor allows you to explore your thoughts, speak about your issues, and develop better anxiety coping skills.

GAD Counseling for Men

Men who encounter general anxiety may experience regular fits of anger or even use of alcohol or drugs. Proper general anxiety counseling can lift the emotional weight and make it easier for men to discuss the problem.

GAD Counseling for Women

Women tend to deal with their general anxiety through agoraphobic avoidance and may experience increased panic attacks. Anxiety counselors can help identify these negative thoughts and work with you to develop an optimistic view toward life.

GAD Counseling for Children and Adolescents

Children with generalized anxiety constantly worry about future events, social acceptance, and their abilities. Anxiety therapy can support them in talking about their anxiety issues and developing a better outlook on life.

What Causes General Anxiety Disorder?

Remember: anxiety is a natural stress reaction and can be triggered by a range of stress-inducing circumstances or experiences. When it comes to general anxiety disorders, the following may contribute to their development:

    • Changes in Brain Chemistry and Function
    • Development and Personality
    • Genetics and Family History
    • Differences in the way Threats are Perceived
    “Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety; after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly.” – Ali Ibn Abi Talib

Beat Your General Anxiety Disorder with the Right Counseling.

Free yourself from your chronic worries. Ease your anxious mind with support from our general anxiety counselors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) effectively treats generalized anxiety disorder. It addresses negative patterns and distortions in your view of the world and yourself.
The basic assumption of CBT is that your thoughts—not external events—affect how you feel. Our general anxiety counselors assist you in recognizing these pessimistic thoughts and pave the way towards learning coping skills and converting your ideas to enhance the quality of your life.

Exposure Therapy for General Anxiety

Exposure therapy is a behavioral therapy typically used to assist people with phobias and anxiety disorders. It involves an individual facing what they fear, whether in fiction or real life, but under the direction of a trained therapist in a secure environment.
According to EBBP.org, approximately 60 to 90 percent of individuals have no symptoms or mild symptoms of their initial condition after completing their exposure therapy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

The goal of acceptance and commitment therapy is to reduce the struggle to control anxious thoughts and improve involvement in meaningful actions that align with your desired life goals. It highlights acceptance as a way to deal with unhealthy thoughts, emotions, signs, or circumstances and encourages increased adherence to a healthy healing journey.

Peer Support Programs

Peer support programs provide an opportunity for people who have achieved considerable healing to assist others in their recovery journeys. Peer specialists encourage recovery, enhance hope and network through role modeling and activation, and augment existing treatment with teaching and empowerment.
