Why does anxiety keep coming back even when you understand exactly what is happening?You might know that you’re safe. You might understand your triggers, recognise the symptoms and even know that the feelings will eventually pass — yet your body can still react as though something is wrong.In this episode of Understanding Anxiety, Neil Robson explores the difference between consciously understanding anxiety and the automatic responses learned by the nervous system.We look at why certain places, situations and physical sensations can become associated with danger, how checking and avoidance can unintentionally keep the anxiety cycle going, and why overcoming anxiety isn’t simply a matter of telling yourself not to worry.Most importantly, we explore how learned anxiety responses can begin to change as the nervous system has new experiences of safety.
