Sometimes anxiety isn’t telling us the truth.
It can take one small worry and turn it into “everything is going to go wrong.”
Or one mistake into “I’m useless.”
Or someone not replying into “they must be annoyed with me.”
These are called cognitive distortions — patterns of thinking that can make anxious thoughts feel like facts.
In counselling, we can gently notice these patterns together, without judging them or trying to simply “think positive”. We can explore where they come from, question whether they’re actually true, and find a kinder, more balanced way of looking at things.
You don’t have to believe every thought your anxiety gives you. 💛
If anxiety is taking up too much space in your life, I can help.
