Anxiety Therapy in Fullerton, CA

Do you spend a lot of time thinking about what could go wrong?

You worry that you said the wrong thing.
You think through every possible outcome before making a decision.
You may know logically that everything is probably okay—but your body doesn't seem to believe it.
Anxiety can look like obvious worry, but it can also look like perfectionism, overthinking, people-pleasing, irritability, difficulty sleeping, indecision, or constantly staying busy so you don't have to feel what's underneath.
You don't have to simply learn to live with it.
