How long does anxiety take to cure?
That's a great question! Anxiety is not meant to be cured, it's an important emotion that when in balance gives us helpful information about what we care about and how to protect ourselves. When this is out of balance it can feel overwhelming like we are losing control, fear is driving our decisions and in more severe cases this can turn into disordered behavior such as perfectionistic tendencies, panic attacks, compulsions, obsessions uncontrollable worry and stress.
