What if I decide to set aside my insecurities, so that they no longer limit me?

Every living thing wants to survive and reproduce. So does anxiety. Anxiety can be thought of as a parasite that finds an area of vulnerability and burrows in. Like every parasite, anxiety’s survival comes at the expense of the host. Typically, you’ll notice anxiety symptoms in connection with some area of insecurity, perhaps your health, your relationships, your finances, or your work.

Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation or thankfulness experienced after receiving kindness or generosity. Most clients seeking therapy for anxiety disorders arrive with little sense of gratitude. They just want their anxiety, their panic attacks, their worries, their depression, to go away. And who could blame them. In the face of overwhelming negative emotions, reacting to the positives of life doesn’t seem nearly as important as avoiding the next panic attack, for example, or being able to sleep despite an onslaught of worries.
