What if your anxiety isn’t a problem to fix, but a message trying to protect you?

So if someone comes to me in a panic attack, I'm not going to try to ground them. I'm going to talk to that anxious part, the panicking part, about separating from them, what we call unblending from the person so that they can help the part. Because it's very hard to help it if it's totally taken over. And generally, if they actually believe what I'm saying, that it'd be easier to help them if they could pull their energy out a little bit. They will, and the client will. Whereas before, if I said, how do you feel toward that anxious part? You would say some version of, I am that part. I don't feel toward it, I just am it. If I convinced it to separate and I asked that same question, you'd say, I feel bad for it. I can see that it's really just scared now. You'd have a little distance from it and you would have access to more of what I call self. And then I could begin to help you work with it.
