Anxiety
Worry is useful until it stops being about anything you can act on. Then it takes the sleep, the appetite and the weekend. It is also one of the most treatable things people bring.

Four ways in,
compared plainly.
Your therapist will suggest one. Here is what each involves, so the suggestion makes sense.

| EMDR | Anxiety that started with a specific event | 6–12 weeks | Rest; nothing set |
| Person-centred | You want to understand it before changing it | Open-ended | Nothing set |
| Medication | Alongside therapy, via your GP | From 6 months | Prescribed by your GP |

QuestionsWhat people ask
What people ask
before starting.
Is it anxiety or just stress?
Stress usually has a cause that ends. Anxiety tends to outlast the cause, or find a new one. If it has been most days for a few weeks and it is costing you something, it is worth talking about either way.
Will I have to talk about my childhood?
Only if it helps. With CBT most of the work is about what happens now.
What if I panic in the session?
Then we work with it, slowly. It happens, and it is often useful.
Can I come in person?
Three of the five see people in Utrecht. The rest work by video.
How do I know it’s working?
You agree a few signs at the start, like sleep or one avoided thing, and check them every four weeks.
