Understanding the Anxiety Spiral
The anxiety spiral is the root cause for the widespread anxiety issues. It begins with self-judgment and catastrophizing when feeling uncomfortable, which triggers an increase in anxiety symptoms. This cycle continues as judgment and catastrophic thoughts intensify anxiety levels, leading to a cascading effect. Interestingly, people can function better when experiencing anxiety, but the negative self-perception and catastrophic thinking only amplify the anxiety symptoms. This pattern perpetuates the anxiety epidemic in society.
