“Anxiety is just our brain’s way of trying to keep us alive and well; it is simply, and fortunately, one of our many in-built survival mechanisms. Just as we feel pain when we burn our skin which tells us to move away from the cause of the pain, we experience anxiety when the brain perceives a threat to our well-being and is telling us to prevent or extinguish the threat/danger.” — Sam Owen
Anxiety is just our brain’s way of trying to keep us alive and
well; it is simply, and fortunately, one of our many in-built survival
mechanisms. Just as we feel pain when we burn our skin which
tells us to move away from the cause of the pain, we experience
anxiety when the brain perceives a threat to our well-being and is
telling us to prevent or extinguish the threat/danger.
