Afraid of changes in everyday life?

Good day everyone,

For the past few weeks, my girlfriend has been experiencing a panicky fear of even the slightest deviations from her daily routine and changes in her life. For example, there's construction on the highway, which means she has to take a different route to work. This is already causing her to panic, as she's not used to a different route, and this now means a change in her routine.

Their fear manifests itself through anxiety, panic attacks, lack of hunger, nausea, sweating

I tried to figure out the root of the problem. Her parents divorced, and one day her father didn't come home. I suspected a traumatic experience from this event, but I can't connect the anxiety she's experiencing to that. I suggested she consider consulting a psychologist, but she said she wanted to handle it herself because she thought as soon as the psychologist was "no longer there," it would all start again.

What do you think about this? Have you ever been in a similar situation? How would you proceed?

It naturally makes sense to find out the cause or the trigger for your problems. You yourself have already made some thoughts about what it might be about.

Something in your emotional life doesn’t go round, strain you…and your body sends signals/symptoms….an emergency call…if you want.

Psycho-Somatik. Psyche= Soul. Soma=body.

When mental suffering is manifested in physical symptoms.

Depends on the extent to which it suffers from how great its pressure is.

It would be better to start psychotherapy, of course, but she must be ready for it and want it herself.

Fasting could help stalling psychopharmacists…supporting…but this is just a crutch.

Sometimes it’s not different… because the waiting times for psychologists or therapists are unfortunately long until you get there.

UNBEDINGT to a psychologist!

Once she understands her fear, it’s easier to deal with it. And if she has such strong symptoms, it’s better to look at it.

The psychologist remains until you have enough strategies to deal with it yourself. And if you don’t, you can go again…

It’ll be okay.

That’s normal.

You have to fight against it.
