Asked & Answered
What is an anxiety disorder?
Anxiety is a normal human response to stress, uncertainty, or perceived threats. It comes and goes, often triggered by specific situations (e.g., before a big presentation or a tough conversation). It’s temporary and doesn’t interfere with daily life.
How is anxiety disorder different from anxiety ?
Anxiety Disorders are constant, intrusive, and life-altering. They don’t need a clear trigger and can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming.
Fear and anxiety start to own you, dictating your decisions and ruining your quality of life. It’s not just in your head—it’s wired into your nervous system, keeping you stuck in a cycle of worry, panic, or avoidance.
How do I know I have anxiety?
Anxiety disorders are what keep you standing in your own way, holding you back from living your best life.
If you’re feeling blocked by fear, phobias, overthinking, insecurity—or anything that steals your peace and joy—that’s anxiety showing up. And the good news? It doesn’t have to stay that way.
Why therapy fails to heal anxiety disorders!
Because therapy often follows a one-size-fits-all approach.
While therapy can be incredibly helpful for many things, when it comes to anxiety, it typically focuses on managing the symptoms—not fully healing them. That’s because true anxiety healing requires deeply personalized, meticulous work—layer by layer.
Unfortunately, this level of customization just isn’t built into most therapy models.
That’s why so many people stay in therapy for years… and still struggle with the same patterns.
I know—I’ve been there myself.
Why Do Most People Stay Stuck in Anxiety for Years?
People stay stuck in anxiety for years because they’re simply not getting the right kind of help—and that’s usually the biggest reason. Most of the support out there for anxiety is ineffective and outdated.
Another reason? Many people don’t even realize they have anxiety. They think the way they feel is “just how I am.” Take overthinking, for example—it’s one of the most common and overlooked forms of anxiety.
And finally, some people unconsciously choose to stay stuck. Why? Because anxiety can become a hall pass—an excuse for procrastinating, avoiding responsibility, self-sabotaging, or staying small.
Is Medication the Only Way? (Spoiler: It’s Not)
Medication is not the only answer to anxiety—far from it. In fact, it should only be considered as a temporary support when someone is in a deep rut. But the goal should always be to get the right kind of help to safely come off it.
Anxiety medication is part of the pharmaceutical system—it’s chemical-based, and while it can offer short-term relief, it often comes with long-term side effects (like increased risk of dementia).
Think of it like crutches: if you break your leg, you use them to move around while you heal—but the end goal is always to walk again on your own. The same applies to anxiety—healing is absolutely possible without lifelong medication.
Is it possible for me to heal ? I have the feeling that its not possible. It can work for others but not for me.
I hear you—and that feeling is more common than you think. But let me say this clearly:
Yes, it is absolutely possible for you to heal.
The belief that “it works for others, but not for me” is the anxiety talking. It’s a protective pattern—one that keeps you stuck so you don’t have to face the disappointment of trying again. But I’ve worked with people who felt exactly like you do right now… and they’re living proof that full healing isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable when you get the right help.
You’re not the exception. You’re just waiting for the approach that actually works.
