How EMDR Helps People Manage Anxiety
People with anxiety are often met with messages to “just calm down” or “you’re overthinking it.” If you’ve heard this before, you already know how unhelpful or even frustrating it can be. Anxiety isn’t something you can turn on and off. For many teens and young adults, anxiety is more than a general nervousness. It takes over your body, sending you through a loop of worries and making it hard to stay present in your daily life.
The Journey Beyond EMDR and What to Expect

How Doomscrolling Can Fuel Anxiety and Fear in Adolescents
Your phone pings with a new notification, so you grab it, intending to check it and move on quickly.

The rabbit hole you’ve found yourself in is doomscrolling. It’s the endless consumption of negative and distressing content online, even when it makes you feel worse. While it may seem like harmless scrolling, for adolescents who are already navigating an emotional rollercoaster, it can be a huge driver of anxiety each day.
Adulting Anxiety: Feeling Overwhelmed by Grown-Up Tasks
