Understanding Anxiety Worksheet

Anxiety is a common feeling people have, but when it is happening on a chronic basis it can impact a person’s quality of life. A person in therapy needs to understand what anxiety is and how it affects their life. Often people do not fully understand what anxiety is or how it affects them, which can cause them to minimize its impact on how they feel each day.

Sometimes people do not even realize that they have anxiety until they talk about their symptoms with a mental health professional. That is why a person with anxiety needs to be educated on what anxiety is and how it affects people.
