What are the factors that trigger anxiety and stress?

Posted by Dave on January 12, 2010

When it comes right down to it, there is an emotional trigger that happens to cause the anxiety or stress.

The underlying feeling that may trigger anxiety and stress in a traffic jam for example might be the fear of being confined or restrained. Maybe in the past you were restrained or trapped and now whenever you are in a sistuation where you cannot move (traffic Jam) these emotions surface and trigger the anxiety and stress.

Another example might be driving a car. The fear of driving a car might be triggered by a past accident or a fearful memory that was implanted into your mind as a youngster. Now when you try to drive that fear manifests itself as anxiety and stress.

These are just a couple of examples, but what I am trying to say is that most of the time there is an underlying feeling that triggers the anxiety and stress.

Keep Moving Forward!
