Anxiety can take many forms: overthinking, restlessness, sleepless nights, a sense of dread, or feeling constantly on edge. For some, it lingers quietly in the background, while for others, it appears in intense waves. It often seems to have no clear trigger, but the body and mind remain on alert, as if anticipating something.
While anxiety is often linked to stress or worry, it can also emerge when something deeper is at play — something that hasn’t yet found words. A life transition, a decision that feels impossible to make, or a question that hasn’t been explored. Anxiety can be a signal, an indication that there is something within that is trying to be acknowledged.
In therapy, the goal is not to rush toward fixing anxiety, but to create space where it can be understood. By slowing down and speaking freely, the experience can be explored, revealing insights into its unique shape and what it may be pointing to. Through this process, anxiety may begin to feel less overwhelming, and its message more clear.
