RE: Psychology Addict # 23 | Existential Psychotherapy – When Psychology & Philosophy get together.

have you made the experience @filotasriza3, that integrating what makes you anxious helps to get rid of it? You used the term "erase" it and I would suggest to take it into your system and change the anxiety into something else. Let me think of an example ... like waking up in the middle of the night having a bad dream. Instead of pushing the fear away, to look at it deeply and curiously - then trying to accept that one is frightended. When acceptance is taken the rest is almost easy.

Sometimes this is helping me in the described scenario, sometimes not.
But it's like soccer: out of 5 runs towards the goal, one hits it 2 times.

Sort:  

@erh.germany actually i have tried that :P but without any results. I know exactly when i have anxiety and why is that so and i accept that situation but the anxiety still remains there and for me it's feeling in the stomach. I am not particularly have anxiety problems in the lvl other have that can completely drain their life-span so i am good in terms of that. The reason i am saying ''erase'' is somewhat have a relation to what you said.

I accept the situation, i accept the fact i am having anxiety, i don't care about the consequences because i know the outcome but the feeling is still there that's why the post of @abigail-dantes is so interesting and fascinating cause according to this we can't erase anxiety completely off and i believed or dreamed that we could :P

ah, I get it.

Thank you, that was shining a different light on how I understood you.

So, has @abigail-dantes art of getting a hand on anxiety gave you a full new insight. Which is great.
Happy for you, though some insights are not very well to digest as you already mentioned :-)

Kind greetings to you.
