Anxiety is a natural part of the human experience, but it often escalates to levels that interfere with our lives and become debilitating. When we experience symptoms of intense anxiety, our instinct is often to push those feelings aside or to try to avoid them entirely. Yet engaging in a battle with our anxious thoughts and emotions may unintentionally amplify them, leaving us feeling more distressed. In this struggle, a sense of loneliness and stagnation emerges, influencing us in ways that harm ourselves and our relationships. This cycle persists, contributing to the experience of chronic anxiety and burnout.
