It feels so overwhelming when anxiety takes over. As you begin to worry about all the negative things that could happen, your body begins to react as well. Your heart beats faster, your chest tightens, palms sweat and you feel the urge to cry or scream or run. It becomes difficult to get anything done and you shy away from doing things you want to do. Sometimes you don’t even know why your body and mind are reacting. It is neither comfortable nor how you want to live.

You want to feel in control of your body and mind. You want to be able to approach a situation and know you have the tools to handle it. You want to be able to concentrate on the here and now and not worry about past experiences or future “what if” situations. With a little work, this is possible.
