Understanding Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety goes beyond normal worry. When anxiety becomes persistent, overwhelming, or interferes with daily life, it may be an anxiety disorder that can benefit from specialized treatment.

Generalized Anxiety

  • Excessive worry about everyday situations
  • Difficulty controlling anxious thoughts
  • Restlessness and feeling on edge
  • Fatigue and concentration problems
  • Physical tension and sleep issues

Panic Disorder

  • Sudden, intense episodes of fear
  • Physical symptoms (racing heart, sweating)
  • Fear of having another panic attack
  • Avoiding places where panic occurred
  • Feeling like you're losing control

Social Anxiety

  • Intense fear of social judgment
  • Avoiding social situations
  • Physical symptoms in social settings
  • Fear of embarrassment or humiliation
  • Difficulty speaking up or asserting yourself

Specific Phobias

  • Irrational fear of specific objects/situations
  • Immediate anxiety response to triggers
  • Recognition that fear is excessive
  • Avoidance or extreme distress
  • Interference with normal routines

How EMDR Addresses Anxiety at Its Source

Unlike traditional anxiety treatments that focus primarily on managing symptoms, EMDR targets the underlying experiences and negative beliefs that fuel anxious thoughts and behaviors.

1

Identify Root Causes

We explore past experiences that may have created negative beliefs about safety, control, or self-worth that contribute to current anxiety patterns.

2

Reprocess Memories

Using EMDR's bilateral stimulation, we help your brain reprocess anxiety-triggering memories and experiences in a safe, controlled way.

3

Install New Beliefs

Replace anxiety-generating thoughts with positive, adaptive beliefs about your ability to handle challenges and stay safe.
