WHAT WE DO

Anxiety treatment at The Bay

Anxiety is a mental health disorder whereby an individual experiences extreme worrisome thoughts and lives in an often relentless state of intense dread, fear and catastrophe. Along with the psychological components, anxiety can affect the entire ‘being’ of a person, interrupting not just thought processes, but sleep, well being and relationships.

Behavioral and physical symptoms, such as heart palpitations, shortness of breath, obsessive or compulsive behaviors and avoidance of certain people, places, and things are very common for those suffering with this disorder.

How do I know if I have Anxiety?

You second guess and overthink your thoughts and actions

You often feel apprehensive, nervous, and uneasy

You are fatigued and even feel physically unwell and think that something is wrong with your health

You are unable to relax and feel calm or settled

Your mind is either racing, or a complete blank

You are irritable, tense and ‘on edge’

You experience a dry mouth, headaches, sweating or shaking

You worry excessively and imagine negative outcomes

You have compulsive behaviors that you use in the hope of reducing negative events or feelings of anxiety

Occasional anxiety, while uncomfortable, is a natural and useful part of life – it is your mind’s way of alerting you to potential risks and giving your body the extra energy charge it may require to assess the situation and stay safe. When the alert switch stays on when it is not needed, and when it frequently escalates to a panicked feeling, anxiety becomes problematic.

There are different kinds of anxiety disorders: Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Social Anxiety. Anxiety can manifest as a generalised, low-grade tension that is present most of the time, it can involve phobias, can be linked with depression, and it is also a common symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

What our guests say

“I have attended other programs and felt overlooked due to the needs of the more complex clients that were in the program. At The Bay I was the focus of the team and gained a far greater understanding of my situation and was able to make the changes required to live the life I desperately wanted.”

“The compassion shown to me by the incredible team at the bay has taught me to set boundaries with others, allowed me to re-align my expectations of myself and others and finally live the life I have been craving for many years.””

“My wife found The Bay after doing a lot of research looking at programs all over the world. Treatment centres here in the US are very different! My life has changed in so many ways and I continue to stay clean and sober, thank you for all you have done.”

“The team at The Bay gave me a second chance at life, I was so very sick and although I went to a number of treatment centres I couldn't find a way through, what the wonderful team at The Bay did for me is nothing short of a miracle, thank you.”

“Having a psychology background I was very particular about what I was looking for, I didn't want group therapy because I was at a point where I knew I needed individual therapy, for me it was a very private process, I needed somewhere that was private and peaceful, it has been five months since I left The Bay, it has changed my life.”

“I have been in treatment before but couldn't seem to achieve the changes I wanted. The compassion shown to me by the incredible team at The Bay has taught me to set boundaries with others, allowed me to re-align my expectations of myself and others and finally live the life I have been craving for many years.”
