Why anxiety occurs even when things are going great

Описание: This was the question Emma, 29, asked during our first session. She didn’t seek therapy because something bad had happened; she came because nothing had happened. Yet, every evening around 7 p.m., her heart would race as if she were in immediate danger.

In this episode, we explore the paradox of "calm-moment anxiety":

The "Foreboding Joy": Why relaxation can actually become a trigger for panic.

Survival Mode: How the nervous system stays stuck in alert mode even when the environment is stable.

The Calm Before the Storm: Why your brain interprets stillness as exposure rather than peace.

The Invisible Imprint: How growing up in an unpredictable (but not "catastrophic") home creates a lifelong habit of hyper-vigilance.

💡 What you will learn:
Emma’s story shows us that anxiety is often not a "malfunction," but an outdated survival reflex. We look at how she moved from being controlled by her symptoms to teaching her body that the present is finally safe.
