Welcome to Anxiety Slayer. I'm Shan Vanderleke here with my Slayer sister, Ananga Severe.

And we come together weekly on Skype to share anxiety Slayer sessions with you and often answer

listener questions from our Facebook page and inbox. We love to mix up a potent blend of storytelling,

yoga, Ayurveda, EFT Tapping, along with our many years of personal experience.

And this week we're going to be discussing with our many years of personal experience.

And this week we're going to be discussing

whether or not anxiety is hereditary.

Hey Anaga, wonderful to be with you again,

and I wonder what you think.

Is anxiety hereditary?

It's a great question, isn't it?

I think it's something that a lot of people with anxiety ponder.

Are we what we're born with and it's set in stone or are we the influences we're raised with and we're both?

We have a certain makeup that we're born with and we're really heavily influenced by what goes on around us as we're

raised and what we learn from the adults around us. So to a degree there's certainly

a potential influence that you could call hereditary, but I don't believe

anxiety to be set in stone in the sense of genetics like some illness as a

describe like you know you're born with a genetic type and that gives you this illness or that

illness I think anxiety is a lot more subtle than that.
