Your concern is not a weakness. It's a very human experience to react to such injustices. It may be a sign that you are awake to the world around you, and that your body is trying to process more than it can easily hold day in and day out.

Gestalt therapy is interested in awareness. Not only what you think about anxiety, but also how anxiety shows up in your whole experience.

For some people, anxiety is connected to current stress, uncertainty, health worries, work pressure, grief, relationship conflict, or life transition. For others, anxiety may be linked to earlier experiences.

If being seen has ever felt exposing, unsafe, humiliating, or overwhelming, procrastination can become a form of protection. Not laziness. Protection.

You may be competent, thoughtful, intelligent, and articulate in many situations — and still find it difficult to speak from your real self when something matters emotionally.

When you have escalating negative thoughts, you feel anxious, or emotionally overwhelmed, these will help to bring you back to the present.
