Anxiety is a common mental health issue that many people struggle with on a daily basis. It can be overwhelming and debilitating, affecting various aspects of an individual's life. Coping with anxiety is a crucial skill to develop, and seeking help from trauma-informed therapists can provide valuable insights and techniques to manage anxiety effectively.
