Control and anxiety
Frequently Asked Questions
In der Psychologie gilt das Streben nach Kontrolle oft als Schutzmechanismus gegen Unsicherheit. Wenn wir Angst verspüren, suggeriert uns unser Gehirn, dass wir durch strikte Kontrolle die Gefahr bannen können. Doch dieser Versuch führt häufig in einen Teufelskreis aus innerer Unruhe und noch mehr Angst, da sich das Leben nie vollständig beherrschen lässt. Lena und Eli diskutieren im Podcast, wie man diesen Drang erkennt und gesund damit umgeht.
Bei akutem Kontrollverlust ist die Angstbewältigung durch Erdung wichtig. Blythe und Jackson erklären, dass Akzeptanz der erste Schritt zur Selbsthilfe ist. Anstatt gegen die Situation anzukämpfen, hilft es, sich auf die Dinge zu konzentrieren, die man tatsächlich beeinflussen kann, wie die eigene Atmung. Dies reduziert die psychische Belastung und hilft dabei, die innere Unruhe schrittweise abzubauen, ohne sich in zwanghafter Kontrolle zu verlieren.
Ja, es gibt verschiedene Ansätze zur Selbsthilfe bei Angststörungen und Unruhe. Nia und Miles betonen im Gespräch, dass Achtsamkeitstraining und das bewusste Loslassen von Erwartungen zentrale Rollen spielen. Es geht darum, den Kontrollzwang durch Vertrauen in die eigenen Fähigkeiten zu ersetzen. Durch regelmäßige Übungen zur Angstbewältigung lernt das Nervensystem, dass fehlende Kontrolle nicht automatisch Gefahr bedeutet, was langfristig zu mehr Gelassenheit im Alltag führt.
