Summary

In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the intricate relationship between thoughts, emotions, and feelings, an interconnection I refer to as the “Anxiety Trio.” This discussion lays the foundation for understanding how these components interact and influence our experiences with anxiety. Given the depth of the material, this episode serves as part one of a two-part series, setting the stage for a more comprehensive exploration of these concepts in the next installment.


To begin, I clarify what emotions are. Emotions are immediate physiological reactions—automatic responses to events or internal thoughts that manifest in our bodies. They come about spontaneously, often triggered by external stimuli or our own memories, and are typically intense but fleeting. For instance, a sudden fright, like being surprised, elicits an immediate emotional response that can cause physiological changes, such as increased heart rate or adrenaline spikes. In the context of anxiety, it serves as an instinctive warning system, alerting us to perceived threats, even if they are not real or present.


Next, I distinguish emotions from feelings. While emotions are raw and instinctual, feelings arise once we consciously recognize and interpret those emotions. This subjective experience is influenced by our individual thoughts, beliefs, and past experiences. For example, the emotion of fear can morph into feelings of unease or worry, depending on how we process and interpret that emotion. I emphasize that feelings are often longer-lasting and more complex than the initial emotional reaction and can perpetuate the cycle of anxiety, especially when intertwined with negative thinking patterns.
