Anxiety Therapy for High-Functioning Women
Do You Look Like You Have It All Together, but Feel Anything But?
On the outside, you’re the friend everyone leans on, the employee who goes above and beyond, and the partner who always shows up. But on the inside, it feels like you’re barely holding it together.
You often feel buried under distressing thoughts that shake your confidence. A simple meeting request from your boss can trigger fears of being fired. A fleeting doubt about your partner might make you question the depth of your love. If a friend doesn’t text back right away, you might spiral into imagining the worst-case scenario.
You have a remarkable ability to jump to negative conclusions—your brain connects dots that aren’t really there, convincing you that the worst must be true.
Your mind never stops. You overanalyze everything, replaying conversations and worrying if you said the wrong thing. You second-guess decisions, get stuck in “what ifs,” and feel the weight of perfectionism pressing down on you.
What Is High-Functioning Anxiety?
High-functioning anxiety is tricky. From the outside, it looks like ambition, drive, and being put-together. But underneath, it can feel like:
• Perfectionism: You set impossibly high standards for yourself and feel like a failure if you don’t meet them.
• People-Pleasing: You constantly prioritize others’ needs, even at the expense of your own.
• Sensitivity to Criticism: Even small critiques can feel deeply personal, leaving you questioning your worth or replaying the feedback in your mind for days.
• Analysis Paralysis: You overthink every decision, fearing you’ll make the wrong choice.
