Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes overwhelming or persistent, it can interfere with daily life. People with anxiety often experience constant worry, restlessness, or fear, along with physical symptoms like rapid heart rate or difficulty breathing. While occasional anxiety is normal, anxiety disorders can lead to ongoing distress and affect relationships, work, and overall well-being. Therapy can help individuals understand the root causes of their anxiety and develop coping strategies to manage symptoms.

Mental health is a crucial aspect of an athlete's overall well-being, yet it is often overlooked in favor of physical performance. Athletes face unique pressures which can contribute to stress, anxiety, and even depression.

Trauma can affect a person's sense of safety, self-worth, and ability to trust others, often leading to symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, difficulty sleeping, or emotional numbness. While trauma impacts everyone differently, therapy can be a powerful tool for processing these experiences, helping individuals heal and regain a sense of control and resilience. With the right support, it’s possible to move forward and live a fulfilling life despite past trauma.
