The word anxiety even strikes a sharp splinter into a part of us. Palms sweat, Pulse quickens, thoughts race. Our stomach may quake and even force one to run bathroom.
Anxiety is a profoundly unraveling experience that strikes us at the core, spiraling through layers of biology and spirit.
Carl Jung wrote of the 2 thousand year old man. Our bodies carry centuries of experience and information. Within us is the consciousness of the ages.
Anxiety is a process rooted in our biology which is essential to embodied life. Who has not experienced anxiety? While anxiety is deeply disruptive and may have us questioning who we are, it can also function as a sort of compass. Anxiety may be calling you back to who you really are, your true self, which may have developed layers of false selves to survive difficult situations.
Therapy can help. We can work to understand the meaning of your anxiety, and hear the ways may be calling you back to yourself.
