Understanding Anxiety and Its Link to Perceived Threats

Anxiety is a natural response to perceived threats or stressful situations, often priming the body for action or freeze. It originates in the brain and can manifest as physical and emotional symptoms. Anxiety's tendency to distort reality leads individuals to anticipate the worst, overestimate dangers, and underestimate their coping abilities.
