Does any of you listen to the Psych Central Podcast? And to the episode about feeling your anxiety?
The guest on the show says many people will talk about their thoughts and worries when they're asked about their feelings of anxiety, rather than the feelings themselves. The way I understood, she thinks it's important to put all the thoughts aside and really feel the feelings to figure about what they are about and what triggers them. To me, however, my anxiety is mostly _only_ feelings. I sometimes think about smth, and go over the same things again and again, but for the most part, I _don't_ think when I'm anxious. And when I'm depressed too, for that matter. It's like all those bad feelings are pre-verbal, like I don't have any words connected to them at all. But it doesn't make it any easier to figure out what exactly they are about or what triggers them. Does anyone else experience anxiety (and/or depression) the same way I am? And have I misunderstood what "feeling your feelings" are about? Does anyone know more about this? __________________ "Little girls don't stay little forever.

This is an interesting question. Do I have bad feeling that are linked to my anxiety and depression that are pre-verbal? You know, I sort of believed that I could get to the core belief and origin of all my anxiety attacks, but maybe not...food for thought.
I'm going to listen to the podcast episode you've referred to tomorrow. And I thank you for reminding me that Psych Central has a podcast. I love podcasts and I have not listened to a single Psych Central one. Podcast: How Feeling Your Anxiety Might Be Helpful Please correct me if I've linked the wrong one. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
