When Worry Starts To Take Over Your Life
Anxiety can show up in many ways—racing thoughts, tension in your body, restlessness, or an underlying sense that something might go wrong. It can be hard to slow down or feel present when your mind is constantly on alert. Over time, anxiety can start to shape how you see yourself, how you connect with others, and how you move through daily life.
At Soul Tree Therapy, we see anxiety as more than a diagnosis—it’s an experience that affects your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system. Our goal is to help you understand your anxiety, calm your body, and build a sense of safety and control in your life again.
Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural human response designed to keep us safe. But when your nervous system stays in overdrive for too long, it can feel like you’re constantly bracing for impact—even when nothing’s wrong.
You might find yourself overthinking conversations, replaying mistakes, or worrying about the future. While occasional anxiety is normal, chronic or overwhelming anxiety can affect your sleep, focus, and relationships.
Therapy offers space to understand what’s driving your anxiety and learn evidence-based tools to manage it—so you can feel more grounded and confident day to day.
Common Signs of Anxiety:
Anxiety can look different for everyone, but common experiences include:
Racing thoughts – Feeling stuck in cycles of worry or overthinking.
Physical symptoms – Tightness in your chest, a racing heart, headaches, or stomach discomfort.
Avoidance – Steering clear of situations that trigger worry or discomfort.
Perfectionism or control – Trying to manage uncertainty by doing everything “just right.”
Irritability or overwhelm – Snapping easily or feeling flooded by stress.
Difficulty sleeping – Trouble falling or staying asleep due to an active mind.
Restlessness or tension – Feeling constantly “on edge” or unable to relax.
If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone—anxiety is incredibly common, and therapy can help you find relief and balance.
How Anxiety Affects Your Life
Anxiety doesn’t just live in your mind—it can impact your body, relationships, and sense of self. You might avoid social events, struggle to focus at work or school, or feel disconnected from things that once brought you joy.
Over time, constant worry can lead to exhaustion, burnout, and self-doubt. Therapy helps you uncover the roots of your anxiety, understand your body’s signals, and develop tools to respond with calm and compassion instead of fear.
