Three Mistakes People Make When Trying to
HEAL ANXIETY
BY SHERIANNA BOYLE
A
new online poll from
the
American
Psychiatric
Association indicates that
thirty-nine percent of adults in
the US are more anxious than
they were a year ago. The poll
focuses on what is making
people feel more anxious
— things such as finances,
health,
relationships,
etc.
While uncovering the cause
may seem like a reasonable
direction to go, my work with
anxious clients has led me to
look less into the cause and
more into how people may be
interrupting their own healing
process.
You see what I have found is
by over-focusing on the causes
of anxiety, this can obscure
the healing that is actually
taking place. While you may be
conditioned to believe because
you feel worried, anxious or
overwhelmed that zero healing
is happening, I say think again.
