"Doctor Dorothy, my anxiety has been out of control lately. It's insane. Every step I take feels like a risk, every corner I turn feels like a turn towards chaos. I feel like everyone is out to get me and that sooner or later the last shoe will drop and my whole tiny little world will come crashing down. I know it's all in my head, but it feels so real. You must have some words of comfort or advice for me..."
"Yes, Ryan, of course. Anxiety is just your psyche trying to avoid the fear you are feeling. Like a child who is trembling alone in your adult body.

Take what hurt that little child and sit with it long enough for it to become soft. That's how healing your soul works. Don't waste anything, let it be transformed..."
