Hi Maria,
I think that we always know the truth we may not want it to surface because either it goes against our belief system or maybe it just hurts.
I think that as long as we as people find that happy medium of understanding what our real problems are then we are able to let go of the past and forgive ourselves for the things that we just can't believe we have done, either to ourselves or others.
Sheer honesty is hard (well for me anyways), as it also means taking responsibility for my part in certain situations. I think that this is the begining to challenging your anxious thoughts. (Thats just my thoughts).
Thanks for your response.

I have found my 'authentic' self is filled with anxiety tags. I wish this was not true.
I am searching for my 'authentic' self - sheer honesty I think, can be a real tool for doing this. What do you think about that?
Bye for now,
Maria
It is amazing on how clear it becomes when you sit and listen.
I have to go back to work tommarow and relealized that although my anxiety is realitivly low so I thought, I have been thinking about the what if's.
I have been rationlizing my thoughts as they come up. I know that I won't die from a panic attack and that if worse came to worse and I have one I can manage through it.
I have began to distingish between what are truely my problems and feelings and what are others. For the longest time I have had an issue with an team member and felt somehow that her unhappiness with me having the job that she wanted was some how my fault. But now I realize that this is her issue. It makes it so much easier when I am able to define my own boundaries for relationships as this has always been a challenge for me (fear of not being liked).
Wow being honest about your own faults is not easy. But maybe it will become easier.
Michelle ;p
