Anxiety and chronic stress don’t always look like panic.
For many high-stress professionals, it’s quieter — persistent activation that builds over time. You may be functioning on the outside while your body stays stuck in “on” mode.
Common signs include:
-
Racing thoughts, overthinking, or constant mental scanning
-
Muscle tension, headaches, stomach issues, or feeling keyed up
-
Irritability, impatience, or a short fuse
-
Difficulty sleeping, staying asleep, or truly decompressing
-
Feeling overwhelmed by small tasks or decision fatigue
-
Avoidance, procrastination, or shutting down when pressure rises
-
Burnout, compassion fatigue, or feeling emotionally flat
Therapy helps you lower the baseline stress load, improve regulation, and address what’s driving the pattern — not just the surface symptoms.
