We have all felt some degree of anxiety. But when it stays too long, is unmanageable, or appears for no reason, it may be time to seek help to deal with it.
Anxiety is one of our natural reactions to stress and unpleasant situations, but when it takes over our lives, it becomes problematic. It can be a heavy burden to bear, both for the person suffering from anxiety and for their loved ones. But there are ways to make the difficult easier.
According to a 2024 report conducted by Irish mental health charity Aware.ie, 3 in 5 of those surveyed stated that “anxiety makes work and attending to responsibilities difficult”. With higher levels of anxiety among people of all ages, therapy can be an effective way of coping with mental health challenges.
What set our therapist apart was her genuine empathy and personal insight. Not only did she possess a deep understanding of neurodiversity, but she also shared personal experiences that resonated with us, creating an instant connection and fostering a sense of trust!

When you experience symptoms such as heart palpitations, difficulty breathing and a constant feeling of discomfort, these are signs of anxiety. In many cases, physical symptoms can also include stomach problems or headaches, nausea or even chest pressure.
Even a persistent worry about social situations (social anxiety) or general unease that prevents you from enjoying life can be symptoms. Understanding that these symptoms are not just “in your head” but actual signals from your body can be the first step towards improvement. If you need more in-depth information, you can find even more specific symptoms at Vårdguiden.
When you want to get help with your anxiety, talk therapy is likely to be a first step. It has been shown to be an effective treatment for various forms of anxiety. There are also medical options such as anti-anxiety medication, but these should be used as a complementary treatment.

Anxiety is a natural emotional reaction to stressful situations. It is the body’s way of warning you of a potential danger. It becomes problematic when it prevents you from living a normal life.
Heart palpitations, rapid breathing, sweating and difficulty concentrating are common symptoms.
Stress is a reaction to external pressures, while anxiety is usually an internal feeling. Worry is a lighter form of anxiety.

How many therapy sessions are needed for grief processing, personal development, stress management, or what you need help with, you decide in consultation with the therapist. The first time you meet, the focus is usually on getting to know each other, defining your challenges, and then making a plan for how you will work together to achieve your goals.
