Understanding Your Anxiety

Anxiety and stress are a normal and sometimes beneficial response. However it can be very disturbing if it’s occurring too often or at unnecessary times.

At its core anxiety is your body’s response to danger. Your fight or flight system has evolved to protect you when it perceives a threat. When this automatic response gets triggered too often it can become very problematic.

When the fight or flight response gets turned on, your body and mind respond in ways that you experience as anxiety. Your nervous system gets activated and it can feel very difficult to stop.
