We will explore some of the ways the people of our community can find relief from anxiety.
Identifying the Source of
Anxiety
Dealing with anxiety caused by PTSD can be challenging, but understanding the source of the problem is a crucial step in managing it. PTSD symptoms can manifest in various ways including nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and flashbacks. Identifying the trigger can help individuals avoid or minimize situations that cause these symptoms.
Engaging in Self-Care
Self-care is essential for managing anxiety and PTSD. Activities such as exercise, mindfulness practices, and spending time with friends and family can help alleviate symptoms. In Rancho Cucamonga, residents can enjoy nature walks on the Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail or take a yoga class at a local studio.
