particularly in the immediate situation in which you feel anxious, you’ll develop the ability to evaluate whether or not you’re truly in danger and to more accurately assess the level of threat, if any, that you’re facing. Furthermore, as you become more aware of the aspects of your anxious response, you’ll discover that you’re better able to tolerate the experience. This will help you resist your anxious actions and increase your willingness to face what makes you anxious or uncomfortable.
