What Do You Do If You Feel Shame About Your Anxiety?

If you live with anxiety, you probably know it’s not just the worry, racing thoughts, or tightness in your chest that feels hard — it’s also the shame that can grow quietly underneath. Shame about being “too sensitive,” “too reactive,” “not calm enough,” or “not functioning the way you think you should.” I hear this all the time in therapy: “I know anxiety is common… but I feel embarrassed that I can’t get it under control.” “I don’t want to burden people with how anxious I am.” “I’m afraid people would see me differently if they knew how I really felt inside.” Shame thrives in secrecy. It makes you hide, isolate, and judge yourself — and that internal pressure can make anxiety feel even worse. But something important happens when you start seeing your anxiety and your shame not as flaws, but as parts of you that are doing the best they can. In IFS therapy (Internal Family Systems), we slow down and get curious about these parts — the anxious ones, the perfectionistic ones, the shaming ones — and we help you build a compassionate relationship with each of them. https://mindfulcounselingdenver.com/c...
