AB  - Anxiety  is  a  universal,  adaptive  human  experience  keeping  us  alert  and  safe  from  danger.  It  produces  our  “fight  or  flight”  responses  to  perceived  threats.  Anxiety  is  also  a  motivating  emotion  under  normal  circumstances,  driving  us  to  action  to  achieve  goals.  When  anxiety  reaches  significant  heights,  however,  it  becomes  problematic  and  creates  multiple  physical  symptoms,  maladaptive  behaviors,  and  extraordinary  human  misery—in  addition  to  psychological  symptoms  of  worry  or  fear.
