Understanding Anxiety in Relationships
Anxiety manifests as excessive energy in the body, often resulting in elevated emotional and physical states. It may involve racing thoughts, unwanted physical sensations, and heightened worry about the future, leading individuals to feel overwhelmed. Understanding that this experience does not indicate a deficiency in the individual or the relationship is crucial for partners. Recognizing that anxiety can come from various triggers, including past traumas or insecurities, allows partners to approach the situation with compassion and support instead of frustration.
