FEAR AND ANXIETY
“If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.” Lao tzu
Fear and anxiety are emotions hard-wired into our brains to help us detect threat or danger. Unfortunately, the fear system can become overactive, making us feel fearful or anxious when threat or danger is only perceived. This can manifest itself in many ways. For example, fear and anxiety can be generalized, or unspecific, as evidenced by:
  • Constant worry about potentially detrimental events or circumstances across domains, such as work, family, heath, etc.
  • Physical symptoms associated with worry like restlessness or feeling on edge, fatigue, mind going blank or difficulty concentrating, muscle tension, irritability, and difficulty falling or staying asleep.
​
There are three kinds of anxiety:

Generalized Anxiety: excessive worry in several areas of life, such as work, personal life, finances, health, and minor concerns.

Panic: an extreme case of anxiety includes panic attacks. During a panic attack you’ll experience physical symptoms.

Phobias: an intense fear of a specific situation or object which is out of proportion to its actual threat. For example: fear of spiders, public speaking, fear of going out.

Anxiety is treatable!​
As we work through, you will be provided with guidance and resources.  You’ll learn about your own anxiety, and then you will have tools to help you manage it.  The tools you’ll adopt will be unique to you, but may include: changing negative thought pattern; learning how anxiety and depression are linked; reconnecting you to yourself; helping you linking feelings, thoughts and actions; helping you learn to prioritize yourself.  You will have insight into the root causes of  anxiety and panic attacks.   More importantly, you will discover the process of reconnecting with your authentic self.
