Deep dives
Myth: You can cure your anxiety
Anxiety sufferers often hope to find a cure for their anxiety, thinking that if they follow the right steps or treatments, they can eliminate their fears and worries. However, this myth overlooks the fact that trying to completely stamp out anxiety can actually make it worse. Anxiety sensitivity, or the intolerance to the physical symptoms and thoughts associated with anxiety, is a significant risk factor for disordered anxiety. Instead of seeking a cure, accepting anxiety as a natural response and learning to live with it can lead to a healthier and more manageable relationship with anxiety.
