Frequently Asked Questions About Anxiety Therapy in san francisco, ca

  • Many start out with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as it focuses on your Thoughts, Emotions, and Behaviors. Though it is helpful and effective for some, trauma-based anxiety will benefit from EMDR Therapy as well. EMDR Therapy has been heavily researched and found effective to treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other negative life experiences.

  • Anxiety at an optimal level provides meaningful information that helps people determine what to change or be alert for. However, anxiety becomes problematic and burdensome in life when it takes over the driver’s seat for survival even though it is not necessary any longer. Fear activates the nervous system. We learn what hurts and brings pain that we further want to avoid. Many have learned and picked up negative cues from family, friends, and others in childhood.

  • If you can no longer be controlled by your anxiety, what hurts not to try therapy? Therapy requires an investment of time and money. Trauma-focused therapy for anxiety will get to the heart of the trauma that causes your anxiety.
