Welcome to the Anxiety Slayer series. Our mission is to assist you with creating more peace and tranquility in your life

through anxiety release exercises and supportive tools created to slay your

anxiety. together with you again for another Slayer session to answer one of our listeners

questions and I think it's a great question and something that comes up quite a

bit that we can talk about today and that is can anxiety can

anxiety be cured? How many times do we hear that question?

Yeah, it's a really big concern for

anyone suffering with anxiety and I think it comes from the thing

where anxiety is such a big issue that when we're suffering we want help which

usually means in Western medicine you get a diagnosis you find out what's wrong it gets labeled it gets

Diagnosed and then you can see with the help of your doctor what you want to do about it so because of the

Inormity of anxiety and the impact it has on our lives people felt some relief when it started to be called a disease and it started to get

recognized as a real illness but although it's good to have reassurance and

recognition that there's something real going on with you,

the problem with it is that when we talk about disease, we talk about cure.

And anxiety isn't an ordinary disease.

Anxiety is part of life.

And I think it's kinder to ourselves to understand that when we expect it to be cured permanently,

that puts us under some degree of pressure that when it does rear up again and we all do have anxiety to greater or lesser degrees at sometimes in our life, then that makes it only worse because we feel okay I thought this had gone and now it's here again and then we can suffer all the more for it.

You know a cold is a disease and we may know natural remedies, we may know pharmaceutical remedies that help us get over a cold, but we don't expect

to never have one again in the course of a lifetime.

So certainly a lot you can do to help anxiety, a lot you can do to manage it.
