Summary/Abstract: Lately I’ve been noticing a theme in which many people suffering from anxiety do not really want to let it go. You may ask why anyone would want to continue dealing with the litany of distressing thoughts and panic-like sensations in their bodies for a moment longer than necessary. Well the truth is that sometimes worry convinces people that it is helpful. To understand why anxiety is so challenging to let go, it may be useful to explore possible causes of its existence.
