Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety treatment requires an integration of both physical and cognitive interventions. When chronically stressed, your body adapts to a level of “normal” that can, literally, be toxic. Exercises such as progressive muscle relaxation, breathing techniques, some forms of meditation, and intentional focusing can be helpful in resetting the body’s homeostasis and easing anxiety.
But, these are just a small part of getting to the root of the problem. There are many techniques to help ease the panic and physiological distress, however it’s also important to figure out what’s driving this state to arise in the first place.

If you live in New York City, you are guaranteed to have some general anxiety in your day-to-day life. However, too much stress and feeling on edge can interfere with one’s ability to function optimally at work, to be present in relationships, and to think clearly and rationally. Further, it can make you more prone to physical sickness, irritability, stomach and digestive problems, sleep disturbances, sexual difficulties, and fatigue.
In addition, anxiety often tends to result in relationship and intimacy problems, depression, and a spiral of stress.
Therapy for anxiety can help by identifying problematic patterns in thought and behavior, learning more effective coping strategies, working through one’s fears and self-doubt, and learning acceptance and compassion for oneself.
