Anxiety in Midlife
Worry that once felt manageable can become louder in midlife, when responsibilities, losses, and questions about the future pile up.
How it can show up
Anxiety does not always look like panic. It can be trouble sleeping, constant planning, irritability, a tight chest during ordinary tasks, or a feeling that you cannot fully relax. Many people function well on the outside while feeling strained inside.
Understanding what the worry protects
An exploratory approach is curious about what anxiety is responding to. Worry can be connected to old fears, current pressures, or feelings that are difficult to face directly. Understanding those connections can change your relationship to the anxiety over time.
What therapy does not promise
This page does not promise quick relief or a specific outcome. People respond to therapy differently, and it is reasonable to talk with Rebecca about how the work is going. If you need urgent help, contact emergency services or call or text 988.
