If your mind is always “on,” bouncing from one worry to the next, it might be Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Generalized anxiety can show up as a constant sense of unease even when things are going fine. What do you do about it? Consult a professional! At Connect Cognitive Therapy in Mississauga, Ontario, we offer generalized anxiety therapy to get you out of that loop and start feeling secure. An experienced anxiety therapist can make a world of difference when worry is taking up too much space in your life.
How Does Generalized Anxiety Therapy Work?
Generalized anxiety therapy works like any other therapy for anxiety: by fixing the patterns that keep anxiety going. In the case of generalized anxiety, it’s not about one specific fear—it’s the habit of anticipating problems, overthinking decisions, and feeling responsible for preventing “what if” scenarios. Anxiety therapy will teach you how anxious thoughts operate, why they feel so convincing, and how to respond when they show up.
Will Treatment Make My Anxiety Go Away?
Rather than forcing worry away, treatment will change your relationship with anxiety and reduce its impact on your day-to-day life. At Connect Cognitive Therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is key in our generalized anxiety therapy. CBT helps you:
- Spot unhelpful thought patterns
- Challenge the thoughts that fuel worry
- Practise more balanced thinking
You’ll also build practical coping tools—such as grounding techniques, worry-management strategies, and skills for tolerating uncertainty—so anxiety doesn’t run the show.
