No, anxiety and stress are not the same thing.

Stress is the result of an external event, like your finances or issues at work.

Anxiety, on the other hand, is more internal.

When we’re anxious, we experience a persistent feeling of dread or apprehension. We’re often anxious about things that others wouldn’t find anxiety-producing, and we struggle to shake the feeling.

Stress also ends when the stressful situation resolves. If you’re anxious, your anxiety will persist regardless.

Many different things trigger anxiety.

1. Stress. Although stress is different than anxiety, stressful situations can trigger anxiety.
2. Trauma. If you suffer from trauma, you are more likely to experience anxiety.
3. Personality. Some of us are more likely to have anxiety because of our personalities. For example, perfectionism is often associated with anxiety.
4. Family history. If members of your family have anxiety, you’re more likely to be anxious.

You may relate to one or all of these things. Just remember that anxiety is diverse, and you should discuss your symptoms and triggers with a licensed professional.

You’re likely here because anxiety has become a problem in your life.

As soon as anxiety disrupts your life, we recommend seeking help. Do any of these sound familiar?

• You’re unable to sleep at night because of your anxiety.
• You’ve missed out on social events because you were too anxious.
• Your relationships have suffered because of your anxiety.
• You feel sick, tired, or wired to the point that daily life is more difficult.

Things like these are signals that you would benefit from professional help.

There are many different treatments for anxiety. These different treatments typically fall into three camps: lifestyle, therapy, or medication. Note that many people opt for a combination of the three.

For example, lifestyle treatments involve the following:

• Meditation.
• Exercise.
• A healthy diet.
• Mindfulness.
• Adequate sleep.
• Stress management.

And more.

Therapy treatment involves working with a licensed therapist. During therapy, you’ll learn coping mechanisms and triggers of your anxiety. Triggers can be daily occurrences like interpersonal conflict or stress at work. Along with these daily stressors, there are often deeper triggers like past experiences and traumas as well.

Each therapist takes a unique approach to therapy; that’s why your relationship with your therapist is essential.

Medication is also a valid approach to anxiety treatment. You have many options for medication, so make sure that you communicate with your therapist and doctor about what does and doesn’t work for you. Please note that therapists cannot prescribe medication, but we are here to support you as you find a medication that works for you.

There is no “cure” for anxiety as it is natural and necessary aspect of the human condition. That being said, in the past twenty years, we have made huge strides in treating and managing anxiety and anxiety disorders. There is lot that can be done.

We utilize a directive approach at first, which means that the clinician will lead the way and guide the sessions. We will ask about how anxiety impacts your life and come up with a treatment plan to address your unique situation.

How long anxiety therapy takes is entirely dependent on the person.

For some, anxiety therapy is a staple in their life. They benefit from ongoing therapy without a deadline. For others, a couple of months is long enough.

That being said, it usually takes between four to six months to treat acute anxiety disorders.

There are a few things to look out for in an anxiety therapist in LA.

First, the therapist should be licensed. You can typically check if a therapist is licensed at the state level.

Second, you need to make sure that they are experienced in exposure and response prevention or ERP, which is a necessary part of anxiety treatment.
