Anxiety and Parental Mismatch

All anxiety comes from childhood and it comes from the experience of being separate in childhood. Dr. Russell Kennedy talks a lot about this concept of a parental mismatch. And so as a little kid at some point an alarm would go off in your body whenever you felt separate from your parents. If you instead of treating it like a signal that something's wrong if you actually treat it as a signal that you just need a little bit of love from yourself right now take a deep breath tell yourself whatever you need to hear in that moment.
