High Anxiety and the Mentor in Your Mind
The other workshop attendees sit on the couch, while I sit alone at the dining room table. As I scan the room, pretending to be deeply engaged in everything I see, I feel the familiar clenching in my chest and throat. All my thoughts and feelings are slamming into each other in a kind of mental-emotional traffic jam.
In psychology speak, this is called “Emotional Flooding”. And in this case the flavour is: “anxiety”.
