Conditioning yourself through anxiety
By on Jul 31, 2007 in Dealing with Anxiety
Conditioning yourself through anxiety is something many people do without realizing and is not a normal practice that should be happening to healthy people. If you are in a position where your able to experience an anxiety
attack from a thought or situation I would suggest to start monitoring this behavior because it may be an early sign of OCD
in its early terms. My experience with OCD tells me this because I was a person who had experienced many many anxiety
attacks each month and after treatment they all disappeared so understand this is not normal behavior.
In the past if I encounter an experience with a particular situation that causes me an anxiety attack I will not put myself in a similar position in the near future. An example of this was my last plane ride. As the plane started to move I had encountered a massive anxiety attack in which it took me two weeks to recover from and my lesson of conditioning was not to hop in a plane again so I do not experience this again.
I automatically presumed it was the plane ride that caused this.
Another example was when I was stuck in a lift where I experienced an Anxiety attack. After this experience I did not hop back into a lift and for 3 years I walked up 15 flights of stairs just to get to work.
Maybe the answer lays within the experiences our soul has stored during past life experiences.
Conditioning yourself through anxiety takes shape in different ways and situations with different people. There could be a thought around a chair that causes an anxiety attack and this person will make sure they don’t put themselves near this chair again just to avoid from having an anxiety attack again because the experience of the anxiety attack is linked to the chair.
