- Increased or heavy sweating
- Trembling or muscle twitching
- Weakness or lethargy
- Change in appetite or change in blood pressure

- Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or past experience. Also a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder
Anxiety-Based Disorders
There are different types of anxiety that people can experience. Some experience it here and there. At the same time, others experience it daily. To help you with your anxiety treatment our trained Jacksonville and Orlando therapists can help you identify the type of anxiety you are dealing with. Here are five common anxiety disorders:
- Social Anxiety Disorder. The cause of this anxiety disorder is social interactions or gatherings. For example, public speaking, events, fearing talking to strangers, etc.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Often the cause of PTSD is exposure to a traumatic event. Many who suffer from PTSD experience different symptoms. For example, insomnia, flashbacks, and fear to name a few.
- Panic Disorder. Panic Disorder can happen anytime and anywhere. They are feelings of terror when there is no danger. People may also have physical symptoms such as fast heartbeat, sweating, weakness, dizziness, etc.
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder. GAD is a type of anxiety that will make a person worry or tense even without provocation.
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. OCD is characterized by having excessive thoughts and fears. Which can lead to repetitive behaviors.
Anxiety Treatment Modalities
- Behavioral Therapies. They help to manage anxiety by replacing maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. Instead giving you healthier alternatives called coping skills. As you begin to build these coping skills into your daily routine you start to notice an alleviation of anxiety symptoms. Some of the behavioral therapies that we use include but are not limited to
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Mindful based CBT (MBCBT)
- Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR helps anxiety by addressing the triggers of anxiety. It is an interactive therapy technique performed by specially trained therapists, which is used to alleviate psychological stressors. You will be able to identify original triggers. Then change how you respond to them on a physiological and cognitive level. Thus, leaving you with less anxiety in your life.
- Psychodynamic. The goal of psychodynamic therapy is to uncover past conflicts and work through those issues. A therapist will work with you to determine the issues that may be linked to present anxiety disorders. A recent study has shown it is an effective treatment for individuals dealing with anxiety symptoms.
