It was when I came out and began dealing with all of that trauma that my constant HA worries began lifting and I was able to get control. My brain is still wired to go to HA worries but I’m much better equipped to recognize what’s happening and put a stop to it.
Im a firm believer that there are underlying issues with HA and that’s why I’m such a huge proponent of therapy.
