Anxiety
Anxiety is an emotional response to something we find threatening in some way. It is an important survival mechanism that we need. So why do some people suffer with it? The problem isn’t the anxiety, its the way we experience it.
Our relationship to the anxiety response can make it a useful warning flag or a distressing, limiting symptom. Difficulty arises when people struggle to turn off their anxiety.
Managing anxiety involves changing our relationship to it, empowering ourselves to be in control of engaging and disengaging with it.
You don’t have to be afraid of your own early warning system, it exists to protect you and you can find ways to regain control.
