The Real Reason Anxiety Keeps Coming Back #016

from Identity Matters · host Dr. Kathleen Perry

Anxiety doesn’t define who you are and it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It’s okay to have sensations or thoughts that trigger it.Like weather, anxiety can move, shift, change, and clear on its own, and you don’t have to become a different person for that to happen.In this episode, I’ll also emphasize that I’m not dismissing what I’m feeling in moments of anxiety and neither should you. Rather, because anxiety isn’t caused by my circumstances, I don’t have to fix myself or my circumstances to feel okay.The Intelligence Inside — a 5-week course, May 26 – June 23.
