Free The Fear and Anxiety Solution by PhD Friedemann MD Schaub

anxiety:
inner conflicts, stored emotions,
and
self-limiting beliefs.
To break through fear and anxiety and to shift into an awareness of self-empowerment and emotional freedom, all three root causes need to be addressed.
ROOT CAUSE 1: INNER CONFLICTS
    For people dealing with fear and anxiety, it often seems like there’s an inner battle being waged between two sides of themselves. Most of the time, they feel as though they’re condemned to watching the battle rather than being able to influence it, let alone end it. Have you ever noticed that you are in conflict with yourself? One moment you feel quite confident and optimistic, ready to take on any challenges that may present themselves to you, and then suddenly you find yourself anxious and insecure, seriously doubting that you’re capable of doing anything right. What is this conflict about, and who started it?
    Over the natural course of our personal evolution, we develop a variety of personas and identities, which are rooted in our subconscious mind as so-called parts. Depending on the situation and the people we’re with, we automatically slip in and out of these identities. Our identity as a mother or a father differs from the one we inhabit when we visit our parents and step back into the role of daughter or son. The persona we adopt during our job is different from the one that comes forth when we’re with our spouse or friends. Most of these parts or facets of our subconscious coexist and work together without any conflict, thus allowing us to switch hats quickly and easily.
    Inner conflicts occur when two parts of our subconscious mind seemingly have opposite agendas and ideas for what is best for us. Let’s say a fearful part of you wants to make sure that you’re safe and avoid pain while a confident, optimistic part of you has pleasure, success, and rewards in mind for you. While one part of you focuses on survival, the opposite one wants you to excel and thrive. Or have you ever listened to an inner argument between a positive, encouraging voice and a judgmental, very pessimistic one? The inner critic—who may sound like a scolding parent or a teacher who is reprimandingyou—forces you to listen to old tapes from your childhood, such as “You’re not good enough,” “Who do you think you are?” or “You will get in trouble for this for sure!”
    A conflict between two subconscious parts often shows up as procrastination and inconsistent, even self-sabotaging behavior. You forge one step forward and retreat two steps back; you come up with promising ideas and impactful commitments, but then find yourself never following through. For some, inner conflicts feel like accelerating a car and putting on the brakes at the same time, which uses a lot of energy to make very little progress. For others, these inner conflicts are that little pebble in the shoe that makes moving forward difficult. In either case, they eventually make you feel incongruent, insecure, and stuck. How can you solve these subconscious conflicts?
    In the past, you probably just wanted to get rid of the anxious, insecure, or self-bashing side of you. But by eliminating a part of yourself—even if that part is negative, critical, self-sabotaging, or anxious—you would actually cause a fragmentation of your subconscious mind, which is the opposite of healing and wholeness. You probably noticed that the harder you tried to ignore or eliminate that part, the stronger and more obnoxious it seemed to become, until it was impossible for you to mute its voice and feelings. In chapters 6 and 7, you’ll learn how to resolve anxiety- and insecurity-driven inner conflicts by reintegrating the part of you that has been holding onto these emotions, which is one of the most powerful ways to create lasting wholeness and inner peace.
ROOT CAUSE 2: STORED EMOTIONS
