High-Functioning Anxiety: The Anxious Achiever's Hidden Struggle
from RiseUp - Live Joy Your Way Hosted by Kamini Wood
In this episode, Kamini Wood explores the concept of high-functioning anxiety, which she describes as an internal struggle often hidden behind a facade of success and productivity. While not a formal DSM-5 diagnosis, it's a recognized experience among high achievers characterized by persistent worry and a fear of failure, despite outward appearances of being composed and successful. Kamini explains that this anxiety is often rooted in societal pressures that tie self-worth to accomplishments, leading individuals to mask their struggles for fear of appearing weak. She introduces Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a powerful framework to help anxious achievers by focusing on accepting anxiety, clarifying core values, and taking purposeful action.
