Instead of suffering with your anxiety, here at The Georgia Center For Anxiety, you can learn how to master it.
We use the “Gold Standard” anxiety treatment:
Exposure and Response Prevention.
Study after study, for 60 years in fact, shows ERP is the method that really helps.
I know what anxiety feels like; I’m a licensed anxiety specialist, and I suffered for years with my own anxiety disorders: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Panic Disorder.
I know the heart pounding, feeling like you can't breathe, …all the unexplainable symptoms.
I know what fearing you’ll go crazy, or die, and the impending doom.
The hopeless feelings...and all the intrusive thoughts and worry spirals.
When I was 20 years old, working hard in my second year of college, OCD hijacked my life.
I tried a lot of things out of desperation.
I tried supplements, herbs, cutting caffeine, positive affirmations, doctors…you name it.
I also tried the 80’s version of “googling” everything to help me explain and escape the anxiety: I read a lot of books.
And here was the big one I used to stop anxiety: avoiding and escaping everything that caused me any anxiety.
But here was my issue: what I thought was helping, I learned later was actually making anxiety worse .
