Understanding Anxiety

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural human response to stress or perceived danger. It's a feeling of worry, fear, or unease that can range from mild to severe. While occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, chronic or intense anxiety can interfere with daily functioning and well-being.

Common Symptoms

  • Racing heart or palpitations
  • Restlessness or feeling on edge
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Physical tension or muscle aches

How Therapy Can Help

Working with a trained therapist provides a safe space to explore the root causes of anxiety. Evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and relaxation strategies empower individuals to manage symptoms, reframe negative thought patterns, and build resilience.

At Laya, we tailor our therapeutic approach to suit each individual’s unique journey, combining warmth, empathy, and professional guidance.
