Anxiety: Where the End is a New Beginning

Recognizing or being diagnosed with a disorder is not an end. In fact, a diagnosis is simply a label that allows professionals to categorize, communicate, and provide effective treatment. A diagnosis might very well be the beginning to overcoming an affliction that is limiting an individual’s ability to enjoy life. Treatment for anxiety comes in many forms, from a quick fix to a long-term strategy. Quite simply, the quick fix is prescription medication. While medication is sometimes necessary, the more effective, long-term solution is talk therapy.

Typically, therapy will initially focus on learning the function of the anxiety and how something that often is very helpful has become uncontrollable.

Reconciliation through Apology

Often times in therapy the central topic of a session is processing when someone has done something ‘wrong.’ From my perspective as a therapist, the simplest type of ‘wrong’ is when the offending or ‘wrong’ party feels a sense of guilt, admits fault, and wants reconciliation. (Other times a session is centered around a disagreement of if the client’s action(s) or words are in fact ‘wrong,’ but the work of this type of session is entirely different than the focus of this article.)
