Overcoming Anxiety Disorders
Manage anxiety attacks once and for all with our anxiety counseling
Positive Outlook Counseling Dallas has effective techniques to assist you in managing your anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders may result from childhood trauma, learning disabilities, abuse, stress or lack of self-esteem. Understanding the source of anxiety attacks is always helpful and may be instructive, but anxiety counseling is primarily about assisting you in achieving a centered, functioning life. Our anxiety counseling sessions will not only focus on your anxiety disorder, but will also help you explore your family of origin, your interpersonal relationships and other triggers of anxiety attacks.

- Inability to relax
- Tense feelings
- Rapid heartbeat
- Dry mouth

- Learning (parents who were highly anxious)
- Trauma (situations that may be similar to experiences of the past that caused great pain)
