Hey friend, Let’s clear something up. You don’t have an anxiety problem.You have a safety problem. And no, not the “someone’s breaking into my house” kind of safety.I mean the felt sense of safety - the kind your nervous system needs to actually relax, regulate, and stop sounding internal alarms every time someone doesn’t text you back within 4 minutes.
