T S Eliot’s quote is an interesting one …
โค Marion โค ~ I agree!
Anxiety can be both motivator and destructor. It is a matter of keeping things proportionate. Somehow disproportionate responses appear to be bordering on epidemic. I find this very sad because of its compounding effect. I wish everyone suffering disproportionate anxiety could at least have access to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy education so that they may hope to learn to equip themselves with tools for rational and constructive self talk.
Amen to that, Sean
