Anxiety, Depression and Fear in Women

Women who experience frequent feelings of anxiety, depression or fear may be feeling old wounds.

Knowing how to deal with feelings of anxiety, depression and fear helps us in making healthier choices. Often, when making decisions while feeling anxious, depressed or afraid our choices may not be the best. Avoidance of painful feelings only perpetuates the pain. For instance, people who use food, drugs/alcohol, shopping or other avenues to avoid feelings create more problems. Also, our feelings do not vanish. They may surface in unexpected ways.

Making connections between what we are experiencing today with past experiences is significant. Identifying problems and learning ways to deal with them can help in improving lives.
