What happens when your nervous system feels unsafe?
Some people fight.
Some people run.
Some people freeze.
Some people try to keep the peace.

These responses can develop as ways of dealing with perceived threat, and they can look very different from person to person. Understanding these patterns can help us become more aware of how we respond when we feel unsafe or overwhelmed.

Anxiety Isn't the Enemy Anxiety gets a bad reputation, but feeling anxious isn't necessarily a sign that something is wrong. Anxiety is a normal part of being human. It's our brain's way of responding to uncertainty, pressure or something it perceives as a threat.

Feeling nervous before a presentation can help you prepare. Feeling anxious before an important conversation can make you more alert. That response can be useful. The goal isn't to never feel anxious. The important question is what happens when that alarm system becomes too sensitive, stays switched on for too long, or starts getting in the way of your everyday life. Want to understand the difference between normal anxiety and an anxiety disorder?

Is everything confidential? It's a common question, and an important one to ask before starting therapy.

Our sessions are confidential, with standard legal exceptions, such as when there is a serious risk of harm. I'll explain these clearly before we begin so you know what to expect.

Sometimes, hearing how others experience therapy can help you feel more comfortable taking that first step.

“Having had the opportunity to work alongside Reuben, I know how thoughtful, sensitive and insightful his work with clients is. I recommend him very highly indeed.”

Feeling anxious doesn't automatically mean you have an anxiety disorder. But there are a few things worth paying attention to:
Intensity: Does the anxiety feel much stronger than the situation calls for?
Duration: Does it stick around long after the situation has passed?
Interference: Is it affecting your sleep, work, relationships or everyday life?
Avoidance: Are you starting to change your life to avoid feeling anxious?

Anxiety can be a normal and useful response. But when it becomes persistent, difficult to control or starts limiting what you do, it may be time to take a closer look.
You don't have to wait until things feel unbearable before seeking support.
