单集文稿 ...

  You are putting too much pressure on yourself and it is making you so much more anxious.

• 00:08

  We commonly talk here about triggers like intrusive thoughts or things

• 00:13

  that create anxiety for you and they are outside stresses that cause you a lot of anxiety.

• 00:19

  But often some of the most anxiety you experience is coming from inside you, the pressure you put on yourself.

• 00:28

  Maybe you're putting pressure on yourself to be better, to get better, to win an award,

• 00:33

  to get a pay raise, to impress your friends, to check off all of these boxes.

• 00:38

  And this is a trap.

• 00:40

  That we all fall into sometimes.

• 00:43

  And it can be, in some cases, the clients

• 00:47

  that I see are the major source of stress and anxiety in their life.

• 00:52

  Or maybe the pressure's coming from this voice inside you where it's saying you should

• 00:56

  be doing this and you should be doing that and you should be doing more.

• 01:00

  This pressure that you're experiencing is often the thing that shoots

• 01:06

  your anxiety up so high and today we're going to talk about it.
