What anxiety can feel like
Some worry is part of being human. Anxiety becomes a problem when it starts making decisions for you. You might notice:
- worry that is hard to switch off
- avoiding places, people or tasks
- restlessness, a racing heart or tense muscles
- trouble sleeping
- panic that seems to come out of nowhere
Many people with anxiety are very good at hiding it. You may look fine from the outside and still feel worn out on the inside.
How therapy can help with anxiety
In therapy you learn what your anxiety is trying to protect you from, and how to respond to it differently. Many people find that anxiety loosens its grip once they understand it.
CBT is one of the most widely used approaches for anxiety. It helps you test anxious predictions and slowly face what you have been avoiding. Your therapist will build a plan with you, one step at a time.

If you've had a psychedelic experience
Sometimes anxiety shows up after a psychedelic experience, or a past experience keeps replaying in your mind. Our therapists also offer integration therapy: ordinary psychotherapy to help you make sense of a past experience and what it brought up. Read more about integration therapy after a psychedelic experience.
P.A.T.H. provides psychotherapy only. We do not sell, supply, prescribe, administer, dose or supervise psilocybin or any other psychedelic. Any psychedelic experience is arranged independently by the client and is not part of our service.
