Anxiety Therapy in Winnipeg
Anxiety Therapy
You might look fine on the outside — keeping up with work, showing up for others, even smiling in social situations — but inside, it feels like something’s always wrong.
A racing heart. A tight chest. Thoughts that spin out of control, even when nothing seems urgent. Anxiety doesn’t always come from one big event. Sometimes, the slow build-up of stress, pressure, and fear becomes too much. If you live in Winnipeg and find yourself constantly overwhelmed by worry, anxiety therapy at Oakville Wellness Centre can help you feel grounded again. You don’t have to push through it alone.
Symptoms of Anxiety
Anxiety can show up in ways others don’t always see. You may look calm, but feel completely out of control inside. Over time, it wears you down, making everyday life feel harder.
Mentally
- Constant worrying or overthinking
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Fear that something bad is always about to happen
Emotionally
- Feeling restless, edgy, or keyed up
- Irritability or a short temper
- Dread or panic in situations others find easy
Physically
- Chest tightness, rapid heartbeat, or shortness of breath
- Sweating, dizziness, or feeling faint
- Trouble sleeping or waking up unrefreshed
For some, anxiety can also show up as panic attacks — sudden waves of intense fear with symptoms like heart palpitations, sweating, shaking, or choking. Others may avoid social situations, obsess over perfection, or fear disappointing people.
Children and teens show it differently — with stomach aches, school refusal, or clinginess. Whatever form it takes, anxiety is real and treatable.
