Understanding Anxiety and Its Roots

Anxiety is characterized as the anticipation of negative events that have yet to occur, distinguishing it from immediate danger. The term emphasizes that this build-up of anxiety is largely a reaction to potential threats rather than actual occurrences. For instance, imagining a stressful event, like traveling to a retreat, can provoke feelings of overwhelm even though the situation is not currently happening. This trapped energy contributes to ongoing anxiety since the individual cannot respond in the moment to relieve the built-up pressure.
