焦虑是有目的的;了解它,战胜焦虑
如果被问到焦虑在他们的生活中有什么目的,人们的回答可能是“完全没有”,也可能是“折磨我,毁了我的生活”。不可否认,焦虑的存在往往只是为了折磨我们。更进一步,如果我们试着为我们的焦虑找一个点在美国,我们经常一事无成。不管你信不信,焦虑通常是有目的的。发现它可以帮助你战胜焦虑。
超越原因,焦虑是有目的的
我们人类是有着复杂大脑的复杂生物。我们的大脑是科学的、有条理的,从最原始的部分到最先进的部分,都有一个目的:让我们活着。
然而,有时大脑的方法还有待改进。大脑很容易受伤和生病,而大脑也是人类的。由于大脑的人性,它容易受到错误的思维和不完美的情绪的影响。有时候,大脑保护我们的方式就是过度焦虑(焦虑:它在你的大脑里!).
焦虑有很多原因包括思想、感情、习得的行为、过去的事件、化学失衡等等。是的,焦虑有多种原因,但一旦它存在,焦虑的目的是什么?确定焦虑的目的会让你通过解决这个目的来战胜焦虑。
焦虑的四个常见目的
有时大脑会变得焦虑。当焦虑挥之不去时,通常都是有原因的。在焦虑的目的中,有以下四个是常见的:
保护.焦虑的一个功能是保护我们免受伤害。如果我们有点担心,因此保持警惕,警惕可能伤害我们的人或地方,我们就会保持安全。焦虑在保护我们方面的作用是好的。然而,当我们变得高度警惕和恐惧,将自己与世界隔离以避免危险时,焦虑的保护目的就过头了。
动机.想做好对你来说很重要的事情。这些都是伟大的品质。焦虑在这里起作用,通过增加一点担心和恐惧来帮助我们保持成功的动力,让我们保持警觉。然而,当动力变得强烈时表现焦虑或完美主义焦虑已经走得太远了。
成长与发展:有一定程度的焦虑有助于促进个人成长。对当前生活的焦虑和对未来的担忧可以帮助我们走出舒适区。焦虑可以帮助我们发现我们想要改变什么,然后给我们去改变的动力。然而,有时焦虑会根深蒂固,让我们陷入困境沉思和担忧.当这种情况发生时,焦虑就过头了。
爱与归属.爱和归属是人类的基本需求。焦虑可以通过帮助我们与他人保持联系来帮助我们解决这些问题。害怕孤独,担心我们所爱的人受到伤害,这促使我们去关心和联系。然而,这种类型的焦虑,就像其他类型的焦虑一样,可能会失控,干扰我们的人际关系和功能。当这种情况发生时,焦虑已经过分了。
了解焦虑的目的,战胜焦虑
当你认识到焦虑的目的时,你可以通过解决这个目的来减少焦虑。方法如下:
调整你的焦虑。当你经历它时,请注意。
倾听它.具体来说,它在告诉你什么?还发生了什么?你在想什么,有什么感觉?
分析目的.你为什么觉得焦虑?现在焦虑的作用是什么?
评估目的.在这种情况下焦虑真的有效吗?如果是这样,你的焦虑是不是太过分了?你现在的焦虑有必要吗?
当你开始承认焦虑确实有一个目的时,你可以退一步,确定这个目的是否有效,或者焦虑是否过头了。然后,努力思考是什么让你焦虑。慢慢地,你会教会你的大脑,没有必要过度焦虑。五种解决焦虑的方法).

嗨,Tonya,我不敢相信我以前没有看过和读过这个!我很感激The HealthyPlace像其他网站一样转发了这些照片。
你提到了我焦虑的所有原因。全部4个主题。我知道原因,我知道当我以如此麻痹的方式感受它们时,我需要面对它们。然而我无法征服他们。MDD也是一个巨大的因素,因为自2006年以来MDD被禁用了。后来,当我和一个隐藏的自恋者结婚时,我出现了严重的焦虑,最终通过一些伟大的专业人士了解到这一点。一位精神科医生倾听我的心声,找到我问题的根源,还有一位同样出色的咨询师,我把他当作朋友,我们成了朋友,所以我们相处得很融洽。他们每个人都是在我现在的前配偶坚持去参加我的几个约会时认识的。这些经历给我带来了巨大的转折点,让我开始理解我所经历的一切。他们每个人都通过代理人分别诊断我的前任,是一个非常恶毒的操纵性的隐蔽自恋者! (To readers who may not know what I mean “by proxy”, it’s observing someone who’s not seeking treatment and by pure observation and dialogue they were able to clearly see what he was/is). He believed he ran those sessions and told them each what my problems were and what they should be doing about it. (He didn’t want me seeing anyone to begin with), and constantly condemned me and them for not treating me correctly. Ugh ? that was the beginning of my education in narcissistic abuse, gaslighting, etc. He had every trait. My mother also has many maternal traits as well as being overly controlling. I’ve since divorced that spouse in the divorce from hell that earned me the diagnosis of C-PTSD. What should have been a simple divorce was anything but. The court system caused me much grief and trauma as well. This has been 4 years divorced, 6 years total of separation/divorce with NO CONTACT NO REACTION to any of his still manipulative things he does all under the radar. I’ve isolated myself to the point I don’t leave the house. Depression is so thick around me it’s suffocating most days, AND then there’s all these different types of anxieties nobody gets. I’ve lost all friends and family, mostly my grown daughter from a first marriage who my now ex, (her ex step dad)successfully brainwashed into believing I’m the horrible evil person he in fact is. Losing her and my three young granddaughters has been the biggest devastation and heartbreak of all. He purposely set out to do that knowing she was my rock. He hated her. I kept that from her not to hurt her and it ended up in my face. I was once very respected and liked in my community and from my work. That’s no longer so. He publicly humiliated me many times, (but never in front of any family or friends. “The smear campaign” they’re also known for. I fear that loneliness is going to be what eventually makes me snap. I have my dog who I credit for my existence. Without her and her unconditional love there is no one else. I never in my life imagined this Ifot myself. I was once very vibrant and outgoing and that was squashed by my ex’s unfounded jealousy. Another trait that cheaters do to take the attention off of themselves. I didn’t mention that I loved this man like no one else before. That’s still hard to understand how I loved and was married 18 years to someone who’s lies were so believable I never doubted him or his fidelity. Sad when you learn they’ve never been capable of love for anyone but themselves. The day I told him to get out, with proof that fell into my hands of cheating he denied it all with rivers of tears. Tears that were another perfect performance, but I couldn’t deny the undeniable and insisted he leave. The very next morning when I got up and he’d slept on the couch that night, he’d already been up and a totally different man. I knew at that point I’d become his personal #1 enemy. I’ve been that ever since, and yet he’s still able to keep his enablers in check. I’ve dropped out of social media long ago and became ad private as you can be. Speaking to no one we once knew together including my family and old friends. No one, but no one understands what living and what kind of long term effects these emotional vampires have on you. I know only all too well.
感谢您的时间和这篇文章。它完美地解释了我焦虑的所有来源。我一直在与他们斗争,并获得控制权
嗨,南希,
听说你遭受了可怕的折磨,我很难过。我不会告诉你你已经知道的关于自恋者及其毒性和虐待的事情!我只想说在这种情况下你的反应很正常。你也说得对,要回到你的社区是非常困难的。一开始可能很难相信这一点,因为你的“前”朋友和关系不会永远相信这个家伙的谎言和操纵。一旦他们开始和你交流,他们就会认出真实的你,欢迎你回来。有时,在人们因为一段虐待关系及其抹黑运动而被孤立之后,他们发现很难大规模地重新投入,但他们成功地联系了一个人,邀请她/他过来或建议另一种类型的会议。另一些人被吓到了,但决定尝试社区中的支持小组。尝试NAMI或DBSA(如果它们在您的社区中存在),甚至检查MeetUp。或者有些人开始进行短时间的散步,以习惯出门。 Having a dog helps with this! You can work up to a park or dog park. Take small and persistent steps to get back into the life you had and can have again!
嗨罗伯特,
在这篇文章中,我借鉴了威廉·格拉瑟的选择理论/现实疗法、格式塔理论、人类成长和发展的原则和理论、马斯洛的需求层次理论,以及我发现对个人和专业有用的思想和技术的强大组合。有很多治疗方法,我喜欢把它们应用到实际中去。这绝对很有趣!
嗨,码头,
你说得太对了——我们很难为焦虑找到真正的目的。有时,焦虑有一个目的,一个功能,当我们发现它时,我们可以解决它来减少焦虑。其他时候,焦虑是模糊的,但有一个与我们的存在有关的目的。还有一些时候,焦虑似乎根本没有目的(或者即使有目的,也很模糊,可能不值得研究)。焦虑不配合,只是被固定在一个盒子里,这是让它难以相处和处理的许多事情之一。下面的链接把你带到我写的其他针对你的问题的文章。我不确定他们会提供一个确定的答案,因为真的没有一个确定的答案!但也许它们会带来不同的、有用的想法。
