What Is Anxiety Really? Understanding the Two Core Components | Therapist Explains
Anxiety is everywhere — but do we really understand what it is?
In this video, I break down the two core ingredients behind anxiety that I often talk about with my clients:
1️⃣ Overestimation of Threat
2️⃣ Underestimation of Ability or Resources
Together, these two patterns create the emotional storm we call anxiety. But how is that different from fear? I’ll walk you through a simple, relatable analogy (involving tigers 🐅) that makes it clear — and hopefully gives you tools to manage it better.
Whether you struggle with anxious thoughts or just want to understand your mind a little more, this video offers insight, perspective, and maybe even a little relief.
📌 Key Takeaways:
What anxiety is (and isn’t)
How anxious thoughts distort reality
The difference between anxiety and real fear
How to begin challenging anxious thinking
