Can you push through anxiety?

Can you push through anxiety?

Anxiety is something that comes from deep within your biological system as a survival response, so it isn’t something you can just push through.  Because it is a chemical reaction that happens in your brain, it is similar to drinking in that you can’t have 10 shots of tequila and expect to be able to “push through it” and just drive home.  Rather, you have to let it pass.

Although you cannot push through anxiety, you don’t have to live with anxiety forever.  Our therapists in Long Beach are trained to help you with anxiety.  At Long Beach Therapy, we have several methods to help clients reduce anxiety in the moment (duration and frequency) as well as methods to reduce anxiety or eliminate anxiety completely.  We use regular talk therapy, EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety.

If you are asking yourself any of these questions, it is time to reach out for professional help so that you can take control of your anxiety: Are anxiety attacks dangerous, Will anxiety go away, Can anxiety kill me, What do I do when anxiety takes over, Why does anxiety happen, Where does anxiety come from, Where to get help for anxiety, Anxiety for no reason, Anxiety is running my life, What is the different between anxiety and worry, What is the difference between anxiety and stress, should I get tested for anxiety, what is a panic attack, and/or am I having a panic attack.

If you are looking for the best therapist for anxiety, the main thing to focus in on is if you feel safe and understood by your therapist. So “the best therapist” can depend on YOUR needs.
