Anxiety

The Symptoms

Stress, panic, racing thoughts, heart palpitations, worry, difficulty with concentration, and restlessness are just some of the symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety is unsettling, overwhelming, and can impair daily functioning, often causing one to feel on edge.

Prevail’s Perspective

We believe anxiety is our body's way of alerting us to potential threats. It is natural, evolutionary, and, thankfully, manageable through therapy, medication (in some cases), and lifestyle changes.

Our approach to anxiety involves emotional regulation, a skill founded on a bedrock of safety and connection. This entails adopting a different outlook—one that is guided by current research—and utilizing tools such as coping skills and prevention methods to manage physiological symptoms. Ultimately, it always involves identifying the underlying causes of anxiety and addressing those stressors in real time.
