Anxiety therapy sessions are designed to be safe, supportive spaces where you can work on understanding and managing your anxiety.
While each therapist may have a slightly different approach, here's a general idea of what you might expect:
- Check-in: You'll typically start by discussing how you've been feeling any specific concerns or experiences you want to address.
- Exploration: Your therapist will ask questions to better understand your anxiety triggers, thought patterns, and how anxiety affects your life.
- Learning and practice: Depending on the type of therapy, you might learn coping strategies, challenge anxious thoughts, or practice relaxation techniques.
- Goal-setting: Together with your therapist, you'll set achievable goals for managing your anxiety.
- Homework: Your therapist may suggest activities or exercises to practice between sessions to reinforce what you've learned.
- Open discussion: There's always time for you to ask questions or express any concerns you have about the therapy process.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process. You're in control, and we are here to support and guide you. It's okay to feel a bit nervous at first - that's completely normal. Our therapists are there to help you feel at ease and make the most of your therapy experience.
