Therapy is training—just like a fighter preparing for a match by hitting the bag, doing pad work, and lifting weights. Therapy is training for the mind.
If you have anxiety—and let’s be honest, we all do—what methods are you using to cope? Cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, food, spending, sex, or endless worry? These don’t work; they only make things worse.
Life is short. Don’t waste it suffering. Find a group, a therapist, or both. Then commit to the work. Go, go, go!
