2. Why Am I Always Anxious? (The Threat Response)
Manage episode 517770172 series 2925324
In this episode, we explore why people with anxiety disorders often feel anxious most of the day. To understand this, we need to look at the body’s threat response, the system designed to protect us but which can become overactive and misfiring. I talk about how this response fuels our symptoms, how we interact with it, and what keeps it going. Drawing on both my own experiences and my work as a therapist, we’ll start to make sense of why anxiety can feel so constant.
