Anxiety

"Families agree not to talk about anxiety, in an unspoken pact of silence. Anxiety is always there, whether we know it or name it. What tells you if you are maturing, non-reactive, but responsive, is what you do with that anxiety. When you feel it, can you keep thinking anyway? Or does it incapacitate you? Can you embrace what's there and name it? If you can't name it, it's still driving you. The fuel for family dynamics is anxiety." --Dr. Dan Zink
