Each day, individuals, couples and families make increasingly challenging decisions about problems that concern the heart, mind and soul. In today’s fast-paced, often disconnected society, anxiety is a growing issue among adults and young people alike. Anxiety itself doesn’t always have to be bad – it’s our normal reaction to a stressor and a built-in mechanism that alerts us to a possible threat or difficulty. At Polaris, we understand how debilitating anxiety can be. You may feel like you are drowning in a sea of worry, but it does not have to be this way. Our trained professionals are here to help.
Anxiety Counseling in Naperville and Oswego
Anxiety becomes a problem when worries stack up and overwhelm us, sometimes to the point where we respond to problems that aren’t there or that aren’t as bad as we think they are. At this point, worries can become an anxiety disorder or a panic disorder that debilitates us and affects our quality of life. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are but two forms heightened anxiety can take.
Feeling anxiety in certain situations is natural. However, sometimes worries can stack up and overwhelm the mind – often in the absence of a triggering stimulus. In this case, they can become an anxiety disorder. Polaris Counseling knows how debilitating anxiety can be. You might feel like you’re drowning in a sea of worry and concern.
