The Anxious High Achiever: How to Harness Anxiety Without Burning Out

  • Gilde Brewery 3530 Dewitt Lane Charlotte, NC, 28217 United States (map)

High performers often experience anxiety — even when things are going well. In this AMA Charlotte Lunch & Learn, you’ll explore how anxiety can be reframed as a functional response and learn how to harness it as a tool instead of allowing it to lead to burnout.

This session will be led by licensed therapist and anxiety expert Ammereta Gaskin, LMFT, owner and lead therapist of Refined Vision Therapy and co-host of The Sedated Therapist podcast, where she focuses on destigmatizing mental health and promoting wellness through meaningful conversations.

You’ll learn why high achievers experience anxiety, how to recognize when it’s helping your performance, and practical techniques to stay grounded, confident, and focused under pressure.

Whether you’re navigating demanding workloads, career growth, or high-performance environments, this Lunch & Learn is designed to help you perform at your best without sacrificing your well-being.
