Stop Identifying as Your Emotions

I was in therapy the other day talking about how I was anxious about a project at work and meeting the deadline and I said "I'm just an axious person." Right then my therapist said full-stop!

This was mind blowing to me and we began discussing ways I can move away from identifying with my emotions and more into an objective observer role of my feelings.
