Fear is not the opponent
There are different forms of fear. The less clearly we feel fear, the more it can guide us. For example, it prevents you from applying for a position with more responsibility or from following your own heart. Perhaps there are always supposedly good reasons why the long-cherished dream of self-employment is never realized or why people who do harm are not given clear limits.
When people are unable to control their thoughts and feelings when they are afraid, they have an anxiety disorder that requires treatment.
In dangerous situations, fear is a vital quality. It helps us to react at lightning speed. This is important and makes sense. If a car suddenly brakes in front of us, we react without thinking, brake or even swerve on the hard shoulder.
An anxiety disorder is characterized by the fact that the organism reacts with alarm reactions even though the situation is not dangerous. This can be great heights, wide spaces, large crowds, social situations, e.g. B. to speak in front of strangers. But it can also happen out of the blue with no apparent connection. This is often a panic attack.
Those affected describe severe physical symptoms, fear of losing control and even fear of death. Many realize how unfounded the intense fear reaction is. Only this knowledge does not help them as soon as they are confronted with it. The fears and worries that accompany anxiety can be very distressing, such as embarrassing yourself very badly, fainting, or having a heart attack.
Some manage to get through their fear under the greatest tension through distraction. In order to no longer have to experience the fear, many of those affected avoid triggers and gradually expand their avoidance behavior because the anxiety attacks keep coming. This often leads to increased worry and “fear of fear”. Some people then no longer leave their homes, withdraw from social contacts as much as possible or resort to addictive substances (sedatives, alcohol).
Behavioral therapy methods have proven to be therapeutically effective for anxiety. Other goals can be:
• Understanding and becoming familiar with fear
• Accepting fear (acceptance and commitment therapy) and learning how to deal with it
• Angst bildnerisch auszudrücken und dadurch den inneren Druck zu reduzieren
