Can you get anxious about being NOT anxious
Yes.
Here's why...
Anxiety is a bodily state that protects you from threat (it is the fight or flight response.)
Arrow
If you have experienced trauma, chronic stress and adversity for a long time.
Arrow
Your body learns to stay in this nervous state as a way to PROTECT you.
Arrow
If this nervous state goes away, you feel vulnerable.
Arrow
So stillness, calm and feeling centered can actually create MORE anxiety.
Arrow
Because your body is scared of letting go of the protective mechanism that it has always relied on.
