What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a physical sensation of fear and dread, and it is the body's way of signaling that there is something dangerous that requires your full attention. Therefore, it is a normal reaction to experiences that feel threatening.
In the case of pathological anxiety, symptoms are triggered more easily than normal. The anxiety is often disproportionate to reality, and a feeling of helplessness may arise. Many people isolate themselves, leading to a life of solitude and resignation.
In addition to the psychological experience of anxiety, the emotional responses can trigger stress reactions in the body.
These may include:
Anxiety Symptoms
Anxiety Can Be Treated
Anxiety can be connected to various conflicts, such as conflicts in external life situations, personal development, identity, existential life themes, overload, guilt, and shame. It may not always be obvious what the anxiety is tied to, but it is important to address it, learn to manage it, and view it as an expression of feelings and needs that may be difficult to acknowledge.
That said, anxiety is also a physical reaction to these issues. This means we must explore the body’s sensory system and examine the overload (the body's alarm system) that has been triggered.

No one should be trapped in a lonely world of anxiety.
Anxiety can and should be treated with care, and with me, talk therapy can be combined with meditation, breathing exercises, and NADA acupuncture.
