Your life is in constant change, and that might be why you are unable to succeed with your anxiety relief treatment.
Anxiety attacks do not come out of the blue, as they appear to do. The fact is, they can be attributed to any one of the 22 causes of anxiety and panic. Among them are traumatic events, illness, daily stress at work or at home, constant criticism from co-workers and family, feelings of inadequacy and loss of loved ones. They can also be caused by events that you would expect to be happy occasions, such as your wedding or any other major life change.
Any change can attack your sense of confidence in yourself and in your environment. In other words, you might come to doubt your abilities to survive. You doubt the world you've come to know – the 'world' you've built for yourself with your choice of career, living conditions, and friends and family. You'll doubt how you've decided to respond to all those things.
When that confidence is shaken, anxiety and panic disorder take over. It's important to understand that the fear despite how upsetting is meant to protect you, not only from real danger, but from things that you 'perceive' as dangerous, such as being embarrassed or ridiculed, of losing some aspect of your 'environment' or anything that will change, whether it's your immediate surroundings or how you will adapt to change.
For instance, if you find true anxiety relief, how you respond to your environment will change. That's because you've learned and become accustomed to reacting with fear to something in your life, but without anxiety that will change. And that is enough to make you reluctant to achieve anxiety relief. Change, whether it's good or bad, is perceived as a threat. Strange, but true.
Did you know that while you are beginning any anxiety treatment, it is possible and even likely that you will feel some agitation and anxiety? That's why. You will think your treatment isn't working, when in fact your body is resisting the change. That's because change represents loss – loss of the now familiar feelings of 'anxiety' and 'doubt' . Loss of anxiety (fear response) means a change to your environment. It's seen as a threat (an anxiety trigger), even though you know it's for the good.
Understand this transition process. Stay focused on anxiety relief, rather than on the anxiety disorder. Believe that this change is good. Build your confidence levels and you will be more receptive to that change.
