In the previous session, we explored how opening up in relationships can feel challenging but also healing. Today, we focus on a powerful emotion that affects us all: anxiety. Because anxiety is not just something to get rid of — it’s something to understand. ⸻ 📌 What this session is about • Understanding anxiety as a basic human emotion that helps protect you from danger. • How anxiety triggers the fight, flight, or freeze response. • The difference between normal anxiety and anxiety that becomes overwhelming or persistent. • How your attachment history influences the way you deal with fear and stress. ⸻ 🔎 Real-life examples • You avoid certain situations because they make you feel anxious. • You feel sudden panic without knowing exactly why. • You experience physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, or tension. ⸻ 📚 Why it matters Anxiety itself is not dangerous — but avoiding it can make it stronger. When anxiety takes over, your ability to mentalize decreases. This can lead to: • overreacting • withdrawing • or feeling out of control Understanding anxiety helps you respond with awareness instead of fear. ⸻ ✨ How MBT works with this In MBT, anxiety is explored in connection with relationships. You learn to: • Recognize when anxiety is building • Understand what it might be connected to • Stay curious about your thoughts and feelings • Seek support and reassurance from others Sharing your anxiety helps reduce its intensity and brings you back into connection. ⸻ 💡 Practice from Session 10 This week, try to share something about your anxiety with someone you trust. • What are you afraid of? • How does it feel to talk about it? • Does sharing help you feel more supported or understood?
