Even when you’re doing “everything right” — exercising, meditating, eating well — anxiety can still return, because it isn’t just a stress glitch. Often it has a quiet logic: it shows up when something feels too close (a decision, a change, being seen), and the chase for certainty teaches the cycle to repeat. What if the question isn’t “How do I get rid of this?” but “What is this trying to stop me from facing?”
Feeling anxious “for no reason” usually means there’s no clear explanation you can name. Anxiety isn’t always like fear, it often has no obvious object. Sometimes it’s your body registering pressure before you have words for it. Not meaningless, but a signal that something in you is asking to be noticed.
When anxiety keeps you awake, it rarely feels like “just stress.” The mind starts circling, the body stays alert, and the harder you try to force sleep, the further away it goes. This piece outlines a few practical steps you can use tonight to interrupt the spiral, and a deeper way of understanding what night-time anxiety is doing — so the pattern can begin to loosen over time.
Following the expansion of our Pembroke Street office we’ve welcomed six new therapists to the clinic over the previous months
