The patient is here naming the sources of mental discomfort for the first time.
Anxiety in response to terrifying world events is entirely normal and understandable. Our bodies take over and when our brain detects a threat our hindbrain fires up, and we go into fight, flight, or freeze mode. Unfortunately, even when there is no active danger in the room, threatening news on television is enough to trigger this response.
When you’re worried about the state of the world, you may experience a racing heart or tense muscles. It’s because your body is simply defending you against a physical attack. Your brain is excellent at detecting threats but not so good at distinguishing between physical and existential threats.
You won’t be able to use your wakefulness to combat the growing threat of terrorist extremism from the comfort of your own home. As a result, your anxious energy sits dormant in your body. This frequently results in a mild dissociative reaction.
