1 Answer

Answer :

You might benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy or dialectical behavioral therapy to combat the anxiety. Yes, therapy is covered by insurance. What you’re experiencing is a heightened reaction to normal situations. Simply put, you’re making a mountain out of a molehill. There’s something in your makeup that learned to react to situations the way you are. You can unlearn it, but it takes time. Seek therapy.
