Anxiety Therapy in Ann Arbor

When Worry Begins to Take Over

Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time. Anxiety becomes problematic when it begins to interfere with daily life, relationships, work performance, sleep, or overall well-being.

Many adults seeking therapy describe feeling as though their minds never truly slow down. They spend hours analyzing situations, preparing for worst-case scenarios, or carrying a constant sense of pressure that never seems to disappear.

At Wolf Psychological Services, we help adults understand anxiety and develop practical tools for managing it more effectively.

Common Signs of Anxiety

Anxiety often looks different than people expect.

Common symptoms include:

• Excessive worrying
• Racing thoughts
• Difficulty relaxing
• Panic attacks
• Perfectionism
• Overthinking decisions
• Trouble sleeping
• Irritability
• Physical tension
• Difficulty concentrating

Some individuals appear highly successful on the outside while privately struggling with overwhelming levels of stress and self-imposed pressure.

Anxiety and Perfectionism

Many adults with anxiety become trapped in cycles of perfectionism.

They may feel:

• Nothing is ever good enough
• Mistakes are unacceptable
• Success is temporary
• Rest must be earned
• They are constantly falling behind

While perfectionism can sometimes lead to achievement, it often comes at the cost of peace of mind, relationships, and overall happiness.
