Anxiety affects about 25% of Australians and can be understood as a signal of internal distress.
From a young age we are often taught to avoid or ignore our anxiety. Yet, when we do this we learn not to pay attention to what our body is communicating to us.
At Toolbox Clinic, we recognise anxiety as a response that requires attention rather than avoidance. In a safe and secure manner, we will pay close attention to your anxiety and teach you how to stay regulated. Once regulated, you will learn to listen to what your anxiety is communicating to you so that you can respond to it rather than avoid it.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Breathlessness, Chronic muscle tension, Gut problems, Hyperventilation, Insomnia, Migraines, Panic attacks, Poor concentration, Restlessness, Racing heart, Rapid breathing, Sense of impending doom, Tension headaches, Poor concentration, Worry.
