Recovery from Abuse or Trauma and Anxiety

Anxiety affects everyone at some level. We get stressed and we rush around. In spite of our technological advances that make our life "easier," we don't seem to be free from the stress. Stress and anxiety can be quite scary. We may not even know that we are experiencing anxiety. How do we know?

General nervousness
• Thinking and over-analyzing too much
• Rapid heart-beat, difficulty breathing, sweating, breaking out in cold sweat and shaking
• Predicting the worst and "future tripping" (what if?)
• Intrusive and obsessional thoughts, usually about safety issues, or horribly embarrassing thoughts
• Worrying and not being able to think positively, self doubt
• Feelings of "out of control" and that one is going lose one's mind
