Anxiety Disorders are surprisingly common. About 40 million Americans struggle with an anxietydisorder. Many of them are under the mistaken belief that they’re the onlyone, or one of a very few. Not true!

Why doanxiety disorders seem to be so uncommon? Two reasons.

1. Many people who experience them feelembarrassed and ashamed, and keep their fears and phobias a secret.

2. There are few observable signs of ananxiety disorder. A person experiencinghigh anxiety often believes everyone can see there’s “something wrong” withthem, but it’s usually pretty hard to tell, because anxiety disorders areprincipally an internal reaction.

Does itmatter that they’re common problems? Yes, because people with anxiety disordersoften believe it’s their fault somehow, or that they’re an unusual oddball.Noticing how common these problems are can remind you that these are problemsthat occur to lots of people through no fault of their own. The shame and blame people often experience is just another symptom of an anxiety disorder, and not a valid judgement of your personal strengths and weaknesses.

Anxiety Disorders are solvable problems, and generally respond well to treatment. Today we havegood treatments, based on exposure, acceptance, and cognitive behavioralmethods, which offer recovery to many. Unfortunately, only about a third of those who need anxiety help actually getsuch treatment.

Treatment,or well-informed self-help work, is usually necessary because anxiety disordersdon’t typically “go away” on their own, nor do people’s instinctive efforts tooppose them help people recover. In fact, it’s quite common for people tonotice “the harder I try, the worse it gets”.

This isbecause anxiety disorders arecounter-intuitive problems which don’t respond well to intuitive solutions.If youwant to solve a counter-intuitive problem, you need a counter-intuitive solution.You need to fight fire with fire.

What is acounter-intuitive problem? Let’s say you adopt a new puppy, and no sooner doyou bring her home than she gets off the leash and runs down the street. Howwill you get her back? If you chase that puppy, who’s got four legs to yourtwo, the results will be poor. Run away from that puppy. Now you’re playing“chase the owner” and all ends well. Counter-intuitive.

You wade intothe ocean, and a large wave comes toward you? If you turn and run for shore,the wave will probably knock you down. You’ll swallow saltwater and sand. Instead, diveinto the base of the wave and let it pass right over you. Counter-intuitive.

You drive on anicy road, and skid toward a phone pole? If you steer away from that pole, you’ll probably be talking to your insuranceagent soon. Steer into the skid and aim for the pole, you’ll straighten out andbe okay. Counter-intuitive.

The difficultywith counter-intuitive problems is that when you’re trying so hard to solve aproblem, and failing, your natural instinct to “try harder” will make things worse. This can frustrateyou and fool you into thinking there’s something wrong with you. Nope! There’ssomething wrong with the method you’re trying. It’s like putting out fires withgasoline!
