It's easy for anxiety to make us question ourselves, asking "What's the worst that could happen?" Instead of looking at things from a negative perspective, focusing on the positives can help us with the anxiety and reconnect with our values. #PositiveMindset #InFocusCounseling

Avoidance-focused coping involves avoiding the stressor altogether. While avoidance may provide temporary relief, it can lead to increased anxiety. It's important to expose yourself to stressors so you can learn how to challenge the source. #AvoidanceCoping #InFocusCounseling

When it comes to your mental health, there is no final destination. This can make it difficult to see if you’re actually making progress, which can feel discouraging. However, you’re probably improving in ways that you don’t even realize! #OCD #MentalHealth #InFocusCounseling

OCD can lock onto what's most important to you and pick at it. Naturally, this may bring up feelings of fear or anxiety, but it shows that you care! It shows a desire to improve your mental health. More importantly, it shows self-love. #SelfCare #MentalHealth #InFocusCounseling
