3 Things You Need To Know About Anxiety

I'm a psychologist and here's three

things you need to know about anxiety

number one anxiety is not in control of

you and you don't have to be at the

mercy of it there are skills you can

learn to bring down the intensity of

anxiety so that you can feel more in

control and number two anxiety is not

permanent when it feels like it's there

all the time it's usually because it's

being retriggered repeatedly either by

something outside of us in the body or

maybe the thoughts that we're spending

time with and number three most

importantly anxiety is not something

that's wrong with you you're not

malfunctioning anxiety is a normal human

emotion that everyone is wired to

experience when our needs for things

like safety and connection are not being

met so instead of seeing anxiety as the

core of the problem people do better

when they see anxiety as a sign of those

unmet needs
