As such, it plays a part in reducing our anxiety levels. When this neurotransmitter becomes less active or fails to perform its role, it can result in overwhelming feelings of anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, an excessive amount of certain chemicals in the body like cortisol, a stress hormone, can cause higher levels of anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Environmental factors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various factors in the environment can cause stress and anxiety to build up. This includes major life events such as death, financial difficulties and breakups or separations.

and anxiety can manifest in various aspects of your life and can be observed through your behaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, due to excessive fear of getting into an accident, you may refrain from driving or taking public transport. Alternatively, a mother with excessive fear that her child might get hurt may prevent the child from going out of the house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These cases of anxiety and fear affect the daily activities and lives of those involved. In such cases, seeing a counsellor or <a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.sofia.com.sg\/therapist-singapore\/\">therapist in Singapore<\/a> may be helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"vc_do_toggle vc_toggle vc_toggle_simple vc_toggle_color_mulled_wine  vc_toggle_size_md\"><div class=\"vc_toggle_title\"><h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;color: #111111;line-height: 30px;text-align: left;font-family:Montserrat;font-weight:700;font-style:normal\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading\" >What happens during an anxiety counselling session?<\/h3><i class=\"vc_toggle_icon\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"vc_toggle_content\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The counselling session will begin with an understanding of the nature of your anxiety, whether it is a general sense of fear and worry, social anxiety or worries related to specific situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following that, the counsellor will carry out psychoeducation about anxiety and the anxiety cycle, proposing tailored strategies or interventions designed to meet your needs. This can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relaxation exercises such as deep breathing or muscle relaxation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cognitive restructuring<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping a worry journal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting aside a time during the day as worry time<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Systematic desensitisation (for specific phobias)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"vc_do_toggle vc_toggle vc_toggle_simple vc_toggle_color_mulled_wine  vc_toggle_size_md\"><div class=\"vc_toggle_title\"><h3 style=\"font-size: 20px;color: #111111;line-height: 30px;text-align: left;font-family:Montserrat;font-weight:700;font-style:normal\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading\" >How many sessions do I need?<\/h3><i class=\"vc_toggle_icon\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"vc_toggle_content\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your goals for anxiety therapy, the number of sessions needed may vary widely.
