Anxiety, for many people, is an all too familiar part of life. It can sneak up on us in the most unexpected moments, and often times, it may feel like there’s no escaping it. From the constant worry, overthinking and all-consuming fear to the physical manifestations like an elevated heart rate, sweaty palms or restlessness, it can be a truly overwhelming experience.
