This is why thinking makes anxiety worse - we must go back to evolutionary basics
Why thinking makes anxiety worse! The full video can be watched here / video-2-what-you-25517483 . It's from my calmness course, where I explain how I overcame my anxiety and OCD. Please check it out.
The following excerpt highlights the root cause of all anxiety disorders: the inherent disparity between conscious thought processes and unconscious emotions. Our conscious mind processes thoughts, while our emotions stem from our unconscious brain and body.
Mastering the balance between these two faculties is paramount for achieving inner peace and overall well-being. It's astonishing that such a vital aspect of our mental welfare is often overlooked in traditional education. Gaining an understanding of this concept can empower us to take charge of our mental health.
Our cognition and emotions operate as two distinct systems, and I am equipped to guide you in enhancing their mutual communication and coordination.
From an evolutionary perspective, humans are emotional beings who have developed the ability to think. However, individuals dealing with anxiety or OCD often seem to function as if they are primarily thinking creatures striving to govern their emotions, contrary to nature's intention!
