You hear people remark, “Yeah, I’m so stressed too” and “Hey, who isn’t anxious—why are you complaining?” There’s a big difference between anxiety and that kind of stress, and most people don’t understand how all-consuming anxiety can be.
Anxiety causes you to become stuck in a stagnant state of fear.
The speed of your recovery is determined by your willingness to experience your anxiety in the right way. Up until now you’ve been experiencing anxiety in the wrong way. I’m going to teach you how to experience it in the right way, and paradoxically by doing this, you can heal it quickly. It’s a bit like turning a release valve the wrong way and just closing it tighter. You need to turn it in a counterintuitive manner to cause a release.
