Anxiety and related conditions are the leading source of unease and suffering that brings people to therapy. The severity and duration of anxiety can fall on a continuum from mild and quite manageable with or without psychotherapy to extreme to the point of a near total inability to function. Our brains are wired for and have evolved to perceive immediate and serious potential threats.

Anger inspires some pretty creative metaphors. It often feels like the most intense emotion we experience. We may want to yell, or throw things, or even hit someone when we feel angry. Intense anger has distinctive physical sensations: increased heart rate, an adrenaline surge, and quite literally, feeling hot under the collar.

Each one of us is involved in relationships with many people and the quality of those relationships has a tremendous impact on our physical and emotional health. Of course, we all bring to any relationship our own way of being in the world and our own self-image.

Often we seek out partners in the hope, maybe even a subconscious wish, that they can "fix" us or help us to gain the confidence and self-acceptance that, in fact, we all must find as individuals.Whether we tend to be a bit of a loner or gravitate toward crowds, the relationship patterns we form beginning at birth affect our personal connections and, in the long-term, have a tremendous impact on our satisfaction and happiness.

Life is hard. As such, it is normal and expected to feel down and dejected periodically. Our culture can imply that we should be "having fun" and "enjoying our life" all the time. In a life fully lived, with its unpredictability and range of experiences, it is unrealistic to be "happy" day in and day out, and it can be harmful to hold on to that constant appearance of "happiness" as an ideal.
