Daily worry, tension, and fear create confusion and distraction for the anxiety ridden person. The possible causes of anxiety include environmental factors such as stress or trauma, lifestyle habits that both aggravate and continue symptoms, background characteristics that contribute to developing a predisposition, a brain chemistry that is out of balance, or physical factors.
Our physical, emotional, and environmental experiences interact with the functioning of the brain in a way that can both cause and sustain this condition. The fight flight symptoms that the anxious person feels are hardwired human responses that are based on natural reactions to stressful situations. Unfortunately for people with anxiety, the reaction occurs even when there is little or no actual threat.
A combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and stress reduction techniques are effective in reducing the the uncomfortable symptoms of anxiety and in developing the skills needed to prevent further problems. The body's natural abilities to heal itself and cope with stress can be harnessed to promote healing.
