Anxiety Counselling: The Most Effective Way To Overcome Anxiety Disorder

Anxiety Counselling Services

Anxiety Disorder is NOT a random, unknown, or uncontrollable disease or illness. Anxiety disorder is also not caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, a genetic predisposition, or biological problem with the brain.

Anxiety occurs when we behave apprehensively. For example, Webster's dictionary defines anxiety as:

• A state of uneasiness and apprehension, as about future uncertainties.

• A state of apprehension, uncertainty, and fear resulting from the anticipation of a realistic or fantasized threatening event or situation, often impairing physical and psychological functioning.

Anxiety by itself is NOT a disease or illness, but turns into disorder when anxiety interferes with a normal lifestyle.

Worry is apprehensive behavior. Worry creates the state of being anxious. The Webster’s dictionary defines worry as: a troubled state of mind, anxiety, distressed, persistent mental uneasiness.

Worry results when we think about a future event or circumstance in an apprehensive way.

While the effects of anxiety may feel like a random, unknown, and uncontrollable disease, anxiety is actually controllable. The problem is that most people don’t know how or know how anxiety affects the body.

Anxiety disorders appear for specific reasons and have specific underlying reasons why they persist. Identifying and addressing these underlying factors is the most effective way to treat anxiety disorder.[1]

Anxiety disorders persist only because the underlying factors that cause them aren’t properly addressed. That’s why those who take medication as their only form of treatment generally remain on medication long term, or find themselves going on and coming off over and over again. Unless the underlying factors are properly addressed, anxiety will almost always persist or return.

Working with an experienced anxiety professional, such as an anxiety coach/counsellor/therapist, and someone who has personally experienced, successfully overcame problematic, and is medication free, produces the most effective results.[2]

Note: It’s our experience that anxiety professionals who are currently taking anxiety medication themselves, and psychiatrists, usually don’t produce the best results. We’ve found that those who work with someone who has successfully overcome anxiety in his or her own life, and has remained anxiety condition-free for an extended period of time - more than ten years - produces the best results. It will be their personal experience with anxiety, and their successful recovery, that can make a profound difference in your recovery efforts.[2]
