I've been thinking about going to therapy for my anxiety.
gpt
That sounds like a good idea. What's been causing your anxiety lately?
human
It's just been a lot of stress at work and I've been feeling really on edge. I can't seem to calm down.
gpt
Have you tried any relaxation techniques or breathing exercises to help?
human
I have, but they don't seem to be working. I think I need some professional help.
gpt
That makes sense. I'll support you in whatever way I can. Do you remember when we talked about your fear of that man in the park with a stick?
human
Yeah, that was really scary. It's kind of embarrassing how I panicked like that.
gpt
It's okay to be scared. But if therapy could help you learn how to handle those situations better, it might be worth it.
human
And it's not just that incident. I've been feeling nervous about everything lately. Driving, work, even just going out in public.
gpt
I'm sorry you're going through that. Therapy could be really beneficial for you.
human
I hope so. I just want to feel like myself again and not be held back by these constant worries.
gpt
I understand. We'll work together to find a therapist who can help you.
