Anxiety Therapy in Toronto
Stress is a common phenomenon. Eutress is the type of stress that exists to motivate us to study for that exam or prepare for a job interview. On the other hand distress is the type of stress that effects us in a negative manner, overwhelms you, makes you feel threatened and anxious. Prolonged anxiety results in a state of constant “fight, flight or freeze”, resulting us to start developing unhealthy coping mechanisms or no coping mechanisms at all. Anxiety can effect our day to day lives, preventing us from completing tasks, attending events, being present and finding peace within ourselves. Often, it may seem that you can’t control the voices in your mind or the physical symptoms of the stress.
