Understanding Stress & Anxiety Therapy
When Worry Feels Hard to Switch Off
Anxiety often involves ongoing worry or fear, including repeated “what if” thoughts, while stress usually arises in response to current pressures or demands. Both are natural responses, but they can become overwhelming, persist after a pressure has passed, or feel out of proportion to the situation. They may affect mood, energy, focus, sleep, and everyday functioning.

- Muscle tension or headaches
