Document Summary
Guidelines for living: understand the sources of anxiety, how it influences our lives, and how to contain it (it never get"s eliminated! ): we can"t stop ourselves from being anxious, we can only change how we react to our anxiety, behavioral reactivity. Sources of anxiety are really from our origin of family. Absence of anxiety comes from being in a family where they do get to feel as if they matter, mattering is the most important. Respond to someone with a sense of compassion and caringness: you cannot change the past: as much as you would love to change your parents or your family or your partner. You cannot change the past you can only change how you respond to it. You just take responsibility for yourself and choose to live your life your own way: don"t chase distancers: the reason most people distance themselves is because they are emotionally flooded and extremely anxious.
