The threat ended. The situation changed. Your life moved forward. #weneedtotalk #anxiety

The threat ended years ago. However, your nervous system may not know that, and that may explain a lot about what you're experiencing today. One of the biggest misconceptions about anxiety is you're assuming that you're experiencing it now, but often your nervous system is just responding to what it learned before. The situation changed, the environment changed, and your life changed, but the information that your nervous system is responding to never got updated. So it keeps responding to the threat that's not there. Not because you're broken, not because you're weak, but because your nervous system is doing exactly what it's designed to do. It's responding to the information it has. It's a glitch. If this changes how you think about anxiety, save this video and come back to it later.
