Types of Anxiety 

How do you know if you are suffering from anxiety? What are common symptoms that let you know you have a problem with anxiety? Is anxiety a disorder? Is it Curable? 

Stage Fright, including fear of public speaking and stage nerves are all a form of performance anxiety. Why are you experiencing this and what can you do about it? 

Exam nerves as well as apprehension when going for an interview are another form of performance anxiety and can be treated in the same way stage fright and public speaking anxiety can. 

Do you spend time imagining the worst case scenarios, going over imaginary problems and generally worrying yourself to death? This is an anxious habit and you can stop it! 

Panic attacks can be very scary. Not a lot of people though know that they are also preventable and quite easy to treat, when you know what to do. 

OCD is a form of severe anxiety that can literally incapacitate you and limit your enjoyment of life. I do not treat this condition but can recommend therapists who do. 

Do you dread going to parties, talking to strangers or speaking up in a meeting? Are you just shy or do you suffer from social anxiety?

Phobias are a result of either learned behaviour, unprocessed trauma or repeated negative mental rehearsal or a combination of these. As such they are easily cured with a combination of cognitive behaviour hypnotherapy, NLP, EMDR and rewind techniques. 

Life events can be stressful and cause much anxiety and worry. Trauma can also cause anxiety because of an overactive amygdala and constant triggering. Severe untreated and repeated trauma can cause PTSD.
