Dear Therapist,
What if the anxiety your client feels isn’t a symptom to eliminate, but a protector with a story to share?
Too often, we rush to “fix” what feels uncomfortable. But what if we slowed down and listened instead?
Anxiety may be the voice of a loyal protector doing its best to keep a wound from reopening. When we shift from fixing to witnessing, the healing begins.
💭 Reframe the symptom. Listen to the protector.
💡 Curious about integrating this lens into your work?
