We were all born with anxiety, but as we grow up and get used to what we once perceived as threatening, the number of anxiety-inducing situations tends to decrease.
Even as adults, we all have situations when we are still anxious, when we have to do something we haven't done before and the brain creates a scenario that causes us fear.
When I feel anxious, to lower my heart rate, I say to myself that I just need to get used to it. But it would be impossible to get used to it if I ran away.
I know that not everyone can control their brain in this way and go through dangerous situations.
My wife is that type of person, but even she gradually acquires this skill, going to psychotherapy sessions at this
holistic psychiatry in NYC.
These sessions have been instrumental in helping my wife develop strategies to cope with her anxiety. The professional guidance and therapeutic techniques provided there have gradually empowered her to confront her fears rather than avoid them. It's remarkable to witness her progress and see her growing confidence in navigating challenging situations.
