About Anxiety

  • Anxiety/fear activates the most primitive part of the brain, which is purely responsible for the survival. Thus, at that time, the intelligent part of the brain which is responsible for problem-solving is not accessible. That is why we need to use skillful means to access the intelligent part of the brain during anxiety/fear/panic attack. Think of anxiety/fear strictly on physiological level.

  • Anxiety is ALWAYS transient.

  • Anxiety represents old ways of thinking. It will eventually habituate and extinguish


  • Anxiety symptoms (free-floating or cued) need to be consciously identified and radically accepted.
