Overview
The experience of daily worry or fear is a common human experience. It is said that modern life is one of increasing anxiety. When anxiety becomes excessive, it can begin to interfere with everyday life and enjoyment. At these times people may seek medication or treatment. However, all too often these interventions only target the secondary symptoms of anxiety rather than the root cause.
This short public talk challenges existing notions of anxiety as an emotion requiring a cure. It will place anxiety under the spotlight, revealing its hidden structure. This structure is what sustains anxiety in individuals, families and organisations.
If not fully understood and addressed, these structures can become embedded and selfsustaining, often increasing in strength over time. Participants will have ample opportunity for
discussion.
Key points covered:
- Anxiety can be thought of as a structure rather than an emotion
- Anxiety is only interested in its own survival
- Anxiety is not a disorder
- Wanting anxiety to disappear can perpetuate anxiety
Target Audience
General public and all workers/carers
