Managing Anxiety

According to the World Health Organization (2024), anxiety affects over 300 million people globally. Additionally, Statistics Canada (2024) found an increase in anxiety disorders from 2.6% in 2012 to 5.2% in 2022.

Anxiety, if not managed effectively can negatively affect one’s quality of life. The movie, “Inside Out 2” has become a valuable therapeutic tool in my sessions for therapeutic discussions and psychoeducation with clients struggling to cope with anxiety.

The film offers a vivid and accurate representation of the various manifestations and symptoms associated with anxiety. Have you had the chance to watch this movie? If so, what stood out to you about anxiety? Did you recognize any of the symptoms of anxiety?

It is important to seek help from a mental health professional if anxiety is impacting your life negatively. Therapy can help you learn effective coping strategies to manage your anxiety effectively and safely. You are not alone. Help is readily available.  I AM HERE TO HELP!
