Free Anxiety Disorders eBook
Research shows that over 50% of anxiety problems start before the age of fourteen and many people with long-term anxiety
disorders, when asked what they remember most about the start of their problem, reply "Being really nervous for a long time".
The Cause of Anxiety Disorders... As a Child
If we go through a period in life where we are constantly 'put down', 'picked on' or made to feel threatened in any way it's not surprising that anxiety (our inner self-protection instinct)
will ramp up and we'll become more nervous – constantly wary and alert, always on the look out for danger in order to protect ourself.
However, threatening situations not only scare us, they also make us feel bad (upset, hurt, insecure, weak, afraid, small, inadequate, sad, angry, confused... a whole myriad of negative
feelings). And if we feel bad often enough, for long enough, we can start to believe that we feel this way because there is something inherently 'bad' or 'wrong' or 'not good enough' about us. Over time, self
confidence crumbles.
This book highlights a critical component in the development of these problems that hasn't really been given the attention it deserves: the way we feel about ourself deep down and
how this becomes inextricably linked to being scared.
In doing so, it provides a unique insight into the underlying cause of many people's anxiety disorder today.
