ARE U OK? http://geni.us/sva4iUY
First let’s define the term anxiety: Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. However there are many different anxiety disorders and I have videos about most of them, so you can click through the playlist in the description for more info about specific ones like generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorder. Because anxiety can cause us to avoid certain situations that could make our anxiety worse or trigger a panic attack, we can avoid a lot of social situations or not engage in what could be considered normal activities (like not joining choir or an art group or playing sports, or even going to happy hour after work with our colleagues). It is my belief that because we can feel too scared to participate fully in our life we can in turn struggle to “grow up.” When we don’t grow up at the ages most people do we call that being developmentally arrested. There is much research supporting that BPD can lead to arrested development, as well as any sort of childhood trauma & intense substance abuse. When it comes to trauma I believe we can’t move on past that time until we process it through. So most often my patients will feel stuck or arrested at the age their abuse began. Also, I don’t want anyone to think that we have to grow up completely and lose our sense of childlike wonder or excitement. That’s not what I mean.. What I mean is that we emotionally and psychologically feel like we are growing up. Able to hold onto parts of our childhood that help or serve us and let go of those things that don’t.
In that same way, if life in many ways just feels like too much to us and we would prefer to not engage, we can get stuck and not “grow up” as quickly as those around us. Does that make sense? If you disagree I would love to hear your thoughts and why you think it’s happens in the comments below. But now let’s move onto how we can overcome it: 1. Resourcing 2. Building on healthy relationships (specifically with siblings to do fact checking) 3. CBT – using the downward arrow technique 4. Medication can help with anxious feelings if you are drowning in the symptoms 5. Processing through trauma (EMDR, talk therapy, trauma focused CBT, etc).

I was real hesitant to upload this video but I decided why not, maybe it’ll help someone out there. These are just things from my own struggle, I am not saying that I have it the worst, I know that there are people out there with way bigger problems.
