Paranoia
Paranoia involves intense, irrational mistrust or suspicion of others, which can range from mild to severe. It may occur as part of other mental health conditions or on its own, and can significantly impact relationships and daily life.
What does paranoia feel like?
You may feel constantly on guard, suspicious, or believe others are out to harm or deceive you. This can lead to isolation, anxiety, and difficulty trusting even close friends or family.
How to overcome paranoia with therapy
Therapy, especially CBT, helps you challenge unhelpful beliefs, understand triggers, and develop healthier thinking patterns. Medication may be used if paranoia is linked to another mental health condition.
Through paranoia counselling, you can:
Identify and challenge suspicious thoughts
Develop coping strategies for anxiety and mistrust
Improve relationships and communication
Build self-awareness and resilience
Step-by-step guide to managing paranoia
