Overwhelming anxiety was my main concern when I first went to t a year ago. I discovered that a lot of that came from what eeyore said "anxiety rooted in fear that that the world is not a safe place for my emotions" because I grew up being belittled, etc for having emotions. I tried for years and years and years to hide them, to lock them away in a dungeon in my mind...... until I had locked away so much of my 'self' that I became severely depressed and had to seek treatment. Finally at long last started working with current t and she helped me to unlock that dungeon and free my emotions and we found out that my writing had been locked up in there too, omg so much of ME was locked up in there so much that I was pretty much existing as just a shell for awhile. I think anxiety has a lot of different faces and one size ie definition definitely does not fit all. I wish you all the best!!
