My take on anxiety is a bit different.

I view that

So so the even the word anxiety comes from the Latin root ango, which literally means to constrict.

And for me, anxiety is less of a kind of primary emotion and more of a defensive protective mechanism against an underlying feeling.

People have essentially two protective patterns when s when when stress happens.

When they go outside of their window of tolerance, they they're experiencing more stress than they have capacity to handle.

Some people will go up into anxiety.

Some people will go down into lethargy, protection, kind of withdrawal, shutdown.

And it's kind of roughly like 50-50.

Some people go up, some people go down.

For the people that go up into anxiety,

There's often this sense of um if you tune into your body when you're anxious, there's usually like a sense of like clenching, tightness.

There's like maybe a specific body part, maybe your chest is kind of tight, hearts, hearts racing.

And your body is defending against a thing that happened.

Maybe it's like the frustration that you just got the parking ticket.

Maybe it's um anticipation of what you think might happen next.

But essentially it's that protective response that is.

Um keeping you safe from feeling something that's that's uncomfortable.

Yeah.
