Can ART Help With Anxiety That Feels Physical?
Anxiety is not always just thoughts. Sometimes anxiety feels physical: a tight chest, racing heart, nausea, shaking, dizziness, freezing, or a sudden urge to escape. ART may help some clients work with the memories, images, sensations, and emotional triggers connected to body-based anxiety when clinically appropriate.

Praise, visibility, and success do not always feel rewarding. They can trigger fear of evaluation, exposure, higher expectations, or losing belonging. Learn why being seen may feel unsafe, how to build greater tolerance for visibility, and how ART may help when earlier experiences continue to shape the response.
