I support and contribute to the work of the Danish Committee against Anxiety, because I myself, through long periods of time, have suffered from generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and depression. Through many years of intense individual psychotherapy and conscious cognitive therapy I have managed to integrate and accept anxiety in my life, and turn it into a resource of knowledge about myself and my art.
Anxiety is a basic condition in life, and for me- anxiety has also become a complementary companion in all that I do- also when I experience true happiness.
Perhaps it should be called: Country Efforts with anxiety instead against anxiety, simply because the recognition of anxiety itself helps spread awareness, but also because anxiety does not like being exposed. Thereby removing the anxieties basic terms for flourishment. That's exactly what we need – to reveal its basic terms.
Yours sincerely
Carsten Dahl
