ANXIETY & EXISTENTIAL UNEASE
If you’re dealing with anxiety, you’ve probably already tried to think your way out of it. You’ve analyzed the triggers, practiced the breathing exercises, read the articles, maybe even tried to logic yourself into feeling differently. And still — the hum persists.
That’s because anxiety isn’t a personal failure or a lack of coping skills. More often, it’s a signal — a messenger from inside pointing toward something you haven’t yet been able to see, feel, or name.
In depth-oriented therapy, we’re less interested in silencing anxiety and more interested in what it's trying to communicate.
Anxiety serves a purpose. For many people, it functions as protection — against vulnerability, disappointment, anger, or grief. It may have kept you safe at one point in your life, and it may still feel safer than the unknown that lies underneath.
Over time, people can become attached to their anxiety. The vigilance feels familiar; the tension feels necessary. The idea of quiet can feel unsettling or even frightening.
Therapy doesn’t rush to remove anxiety without understanding what it has been doing for you.
Sometimes the work isn’t about “reducing anxiety” at all, but about making room for what has been living beneath it. As those emotions gain recognition and language, anxiety often begins to shift on its own.
Anxiety doesn’t always have a clear trigger. It can feel more like existential unease, like a deeper restlessness tied to meaning, identity, and the experience of being alive. This kind of anxiety doesn’t respond well to quick fixes, because it speaks to questions of meaning rather than method.
In therapy, we approach anxiety as information that's emotional, psychological, relational, and often somatic. The goal isn’t simply to feel less anxious, but to feel more whole, more grounded, and more aligned with your inner life.
