Feeling Anxious or Experiencing Anxiety Attacks? Find
Out How You Can Cope & Find Anxiety Relief With
Faith Based
Support
Understand
the five emotions
that typically contribute to worry and anxiety, and how you can
receive the anxiety help you need
Dear
Friend:
I'm Bob Miller ND. As a natural health practitioner, I noticed
that my clients who were dealing with anxiety had a unique need
for spiritual and emotional support through their
challenging time, and were looking for ways to deal with
anxiety attacks and learn how to manage
stress and anxiety.
To provide spiritual and emotional support in their path of restoration, I
partnered with a hospital chaplain, medical doctor,
psychologist and a team of pastors to create a self-help
anxiety program
that addresses the many spiritual and emotional
needs of individuals who are experiencing anxiety.
If you or someone you know is dealing with anxiety,
anxiety attacks, or feeling anxious, with God's help, there is a way to lift the burden
and rediscover your joy and zest for life.
Restore your life to one of peace, hope and contentment
as you learn ways of reducing anxiety.
I've found that
education and understanding how life challenges are the
root cause or contributing factors to feeling
anxious,
has been very helpful to those looking for help with
anxiety and relief.
In addition to your
professional care, this program is additional,
complimentary spiritual and emotional support to help
you learn to manage stress and anxiety.
To help you understand
how you can be restored and renewed, and learn ways of
coping with anxiety, let's discover the five emotions
people who are suffering from anxiety often times experience.
The Five Typical Emotions of Persons Who are Anxious

However, let's discover how life events may have been a
contributing factor to some of your worrisome and
anxious thoughts and
feelings, and how you can begin to learn new positive,
uplifting ways of thinking so you can find the
anxiety relief you are looking for.
Lets Start with
Step #1
In some cases, a cause
or contributing factor of anxiety can be traced back to what I call a "sorrow."
A sorrow includes the following:
- Traumatic Life Events (dysfunctional
early childhood, neglect, abuse, abusive
relationships, job loss, divorce, financial setbacks,
etc. )
- Life not turning out as you
anticipated
- Not having the
support and mentoring you needed.
- Loss of Loved ones, through
death, disagreements or separation.
- Never Receiving Things You
thought you should have
- Serious Illness, injury or
personal trauma.
- Setbacks and Disappointments in
Careers and Personal Life
- Not enough resources (money, time, etc)
to meet the demands placed upon you.
- Too much being demanded of you!
- Losing Things you Had
- What is expected of you exceeds
your abilities
Sorrow can make you feel incomplete,
as if you do not have everything you need to be whole and
successful. Some people report is feels as though a part of them is
missing.
Then Step 2......
As a result of
sorrow, we typically experience
fear. For example, the:
- Fear of experiencing a similar, or
other, loss
- Fear of being rejected by others
because of our perceived deficiencies or inadequacies,
- Fear of Failure...or
sometimes...fear of success!
- Fear of being harmed again in
some way
- Fear of not having
enough resources to survive
- Fear of being unable to
live up to what
is expected or demanded of us.
Fear and anxiety
may go hand in hand. In some cases, fear may be a
contributing factor in panic attacks or anxiety attacks.
Next, the....
Fear Creates Anger.
Some people vent their anger at others, or are angry
with God. This can create bitterness, cynicism and
bitterness. If this anger is turned inward against
yourself, it can be experienced as Guilt, Shame
or Depressing thoughts.
In some cases,
depression is anger turned inward towards yourself.
In addition, feelings of anxiety may contribute to
depression as well.
As a Result......
Self Esteem is
often lowered and you may experience feelings of unworthiness. Your
motivation and drive
to try new things often decreases because you
have less and less confidence in your abilities.
This lowered self-esteem
can further fuel more anxious thoughts and
may contribute to anxiety attacks.
And Finally....
You Begin To Worry or
Think Too Much, feeling anxious possibly creating feelings of anxiety
or contribute to anxiety attacks.
You may worry about another sorrow issue
occurring, but it can expand into worrying
about many things, leaving you stressed out and
feeling anxious and worried. As your mind fills with worry,
your ability to perform tasks, interact with others,
and sleep decreases. This adds to your
anxious thoughts and feelings as well.
The Downward Spiral 
If left unchecked, this pattern may continue into a
downward
spiral, with each new sorrow creating more fear and more
anxious thoughts or anxiety attacks.
Is This Happening to You?
Many people tell me over and over again, "You
just described what happened to me, how did
you know this about me?" The reason I knew
was because this is how everyone
experiences life sorrows!
Some emotions may be
stronger than others, but
each
one is there for every sorrow we experience. If you
think it through, I'm sure you will agree, these emotions
combined is what may be contributing to your
feelings of anxiety.
