Understanding Anxiety
By Ithihas Psychology Counseling & Hypnotherapy Center
We all feel nervous or worried sometimes — before an exam, an interview, or an important life decision. But when anxiety becomes constant, overwhelming, or irrational, it may be a sign of something deeper that needs attention.
At Ithihas Psychology Counseling & Hypnotherapy Center, we provide structured, evidence-based therapy for individuals experiencing anxiety in all its forms — from general worry to intense panic attacks.
Anxiety is a natural emotional response to perceived danger or stress. But for many people, it becomes excessive and persistent, often with no clear reason. This type of anxiety can interfere with daily life, productivity, and overall well-being.
What is Anxiety?
Common Symptoms of Anxiety
- Constant worry or racing thoughts
- Restlessness or feeling "on edge"
- Rapid heartbeat or shortness of breath
- Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
- Irritability or unexplained fatigue
- Digestive issues or nausea
- Feeling overwhelmed by small tasks
What Causes Anxiety?
There’s no single cause — anxiety often arises from a combination of factors:
- Genetics or family history of mental health issues
- Chronic stress or trauma
- Medical conditions or hormonal imbalances
- Personality traits such as perfectionism
- Overuse of digital media or poor work-life balance
How We Help You Manage Anxiety at Ithihas Psychology
We use an integrated, client-centered approach tailored to each individual. Our anxiety treatment plans include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Mindfulness & Relaxation Techniques

CBT helps you recognize and reframe anxious thoughts, replacing them with healthier and more realistic thinking patterns.
Breathing exercises, body scan meditations, and grounding techniques reduce physiological stress responses and enhance calmness.

For deeply rooted fears or subconscious triggers, clinical hypnotherapy may be used as an effective complementary tool.
