Counseling for High-functioning Anxiety

High-functioning anxiety looks like taking on too much at one time, habitually. Often, your worth is attached to how much you can do or what you can achieve (often accompanied by perfectionism)

  Common beliefs - “My worthiness is defined by what I can achieve”, “I must always be accomplishing something” “Resting means I’m lazy”

Interpersonal challenges - Poor boundaries, lack of self-care, frequent burn-out, resentment

How to heal - Prioritize self care *see self care tracker or self-care category planner, set healthy boundaries with self and others, Learn CBT techniques to challenge unhelpful beliefs *see cognitive distortions
