Anxiety Therapy

When Anxiety Feels Like It Never Fully Switches Off

Anxiety can feel like constant overthinking, tension in your body, difficulty relaxing, or a sense that something is always “not quite right.” For many people, it shows up in relationships, work stress, or a persistent feeling of overwhelm that doesn’t fully go away.

At Soma Clinical Counselling in North Vancouver, anxiety therapy focuses on understanding what your nervous system is trying to protect you from—not just managing symptoms. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based approaches, we work to help you feel more grounded, emotionally regulated, and connected to yourself and others.

What Anxiety Can Look Like

Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic. It can show up in subtle and chronic ways, such as:

Overthinking or rumination

Difficulty relaxing or slowing down

Sleep issues or restlessness

Feeling easily overwhelmed

Perfectionism or fear of mistakes

People-pleasing or fear of conflict

Physical tension, tight chest, or stomach discomfort

Constant “what if” thinking

Anxiety is often not just a thought pattern, it is a nervous system response shaped by stress, relationships, and past experiences.
