Many people who struggle with anxiety quietly believe there is something wrong with them.
They think they are too sensitive. Too reactive. Too quick to panic.
But what if your brain is not broken at all?
What if it is simply running an older survival system that once helped humans stay alive?
Thousands of years ago, the people who noticed danger first were the ones who kept the tribe safe. That sensitivity was useful then, and it has been passed down through generations.
In the video below I explain why anxious thinking can simply be the brain doing what it thinks is helpful, and how understanding this can change your relationship with worry.
