where is the cure?
The location of the cure is outside in the wider world, it is within the film you become engrossed in; it is in the pages of the novel that excites you; it’s at the sports game you take your family to; in the restaurant you take your wife to.
If you constantly search for the cure it will always elude you. If you search for something else it will come to you.
Fears stay with us as long as we succumb to our compulsion rituals.
Compulsion is not just continuously washing your hands or disinfecting doorknobs. It is reading about anxiety, it’s asking for help, it’s searching for the cure. In a nutshell, anything that we continuously do to provide temporal anxiety relief is a compulsion.
We are compelled to solve the issue because we think there is a problem, we perform ritual after ritual, we succumb to compulsion after compulsion in an attempt to alleviate the condition. Although these actions have the effect of providing temporal relief they are in essence the major artifacts that are responsible for holding back recovery.
To aid your memory and simplify this little solution then we must remember to board the Arc (see below). The chronic over use of the Fight/Flight response cannot exist without us spoon feeding it hour by hour, day after day. The removal of these rituals has the effect of starving the Fight/Flight response until it slowly emaciates. I.e. If we eliminate the rituals from the anxiety condition then we achieve the removal of the disorder.
A-R=C
‘ANXIETY’ minus ‘RITUALS’ equals 'CURE'
WISHING YOU ALL WELL, AND REMEMBER STAY POSITIVE, AND THINK NICE THOUGHTS
