What is the theory behind this Anxiety and my body worksheet?
Our body responds to stress by releasing hormones and preparing us for fight or flight. This leads us to have difficulty in breathing, strained muscles, shiver, a fast heartbeat, and pain and bloating in your abdomen. Anxiety also causes the same response in the body. There are also many other sensations one feels that they have difficulty in pointing out.
