When I went to seek help from a therapist for my anxiety, he tended to focus on my current symptoms and what triggers the anxiety in the here and now. What do you think of this?
For some clients, the anxiety, in fact, is triggered by current situations that are causing stress. Yet, it is worth exploring whether or not there are injustices in your past that have made you angry and perhaps mistrustful. If this is the case, then your forgiving the people who were unfair to you may be an important step in reducing the anxiety. In other words, focusing on current symptoms and current reactions may not be sufficient to more deeply reduce the anxiety.
