Anxiety- nothing is helping

2023-02-20 14:42:25
I have constant mild anxiety and I do get severe anxiety in waves. I have tried everything meditation, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, journaling, even tried couple of therapy sessions. But nothing is working out. I don't want to take anti anxiety medication, is there any other way to address anxiety

With therapy, it's a medium to long term approach. The work that you are doing on self is helpful but has limitations. With therapy there are multiple factors to consider. The most important factor being your relationship with your counselor. If you have a trusting relationship with your counsellor where you feel heard, respected, and empathised then it significantly improves the chances of it working for you. But in order for the relationship to develop, a minimum of 3-4 sessions are required. And if unsuccessful, approaching a different counsellor for the same. Long term healing requires patience and willingness to invest in the process of learning about self.
