When Your Mind Won’t Slow Down

Do you feel constantly overwhelmed—even when nothing is technically wrong? Is your mind always racing with “what ifs,” to-dos, or worst-case scenarios? Do you find it hard to relax, enjoy the moment, or just breathe without tension? Do you lie awake at night replaying every conversation and what you should have said?

Understanding Anxiety in Women

Anxiety in women often goes unnoticed because it hides in plain sight. It might look like over-functioning—being responsible, organized, the one everyone relies on. But inside, it feels like constant pressure, tightness in your chest, and never truly being able to rest.

You might replay conversations in your head, worry about disappointing others, or dread things that haven’t even happened yet. You might feel emotionally exhausted but still unable to say “no.” Anxiety can make you question yourself at every turn—and leave you feeling like you're never doing enough.

Signs of Anxiety in Adult Women:

• Racing thoughts or trouble quieting your mind

• Overthinking or anticipating the worst

• Muscle tension, jaw clenching, or stomach issues

• Difficulty falling or staying asleep

• Difficulty making decisions or feeling “on edge” all the time

• People-pleasing, perfectionism, or burnout

• Feeling like you can’t ever fully relax—even when you’re alone

How Therapy Helps with Anxiety
