L'ansia \u00e8 qualcosa di unico e personale<\/i><\/strong><\/i><\/h3>\n

L'ansia \u00e8 un tema centrale della psicoanalisi. Possiamo cominciare a capire cosa significa per te personalmente l'ansia solo analizzando il tuo contesto: chi sei, il tuo passato e il tuo rapporto terapeutico.<\/p>\n

In ogni caso, l'ansia rientra a grandi linee in determinate classificazioni. Di seguito mi concentro su quelle che emergono dalla mia pratica clinica:<\/p>\n

Ansia appropriata o preoccupazione<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

L'ansia appropriata \u00e8 il meccanismo sano con cui scongiuriamo una minaccia, o una minaccia potenziale, che \u00e8 reale: (ad esempio, evitare un incidente durante la guida; raddoppiare gli sforzi per rispettare una scadenza). L'ansia appropriata \u00e8 indispensabile per spronarci a lottare o a sopravvivere.<\/p>\n

Disturbo d'ansia generalizzata <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Le difficolt\u00e0 insorgono quando l'ansia viene interiorizzata e diventa lo sfondo di come viviamo noi stessi e le situazioni esterne. Si tratta di uno stato latente di\u00a0<\/span>inquietudine,<\/em>un coro di voci di disapprovazione che turba la mente e il cuore. L'ansia generalizzata avverte il pericolo anche quando non esiste e vede offese dove non ce ne sono.<\/p>\n

Disturbo di panico<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Si tratta di episodi inaspettati e ripetuti di intensa paura accompagnati da sintomi fisici.<\/p>\n

Disturbo post-traumatico da stress (PTSD)\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Il PTSD pu\u00f2 svilupparsi dopo l'esposizione a un evento o a un calvario terrificante in cui sono stati riscontrati, minacciati o assistiti danni fisici.<\/p>\n

Fobia sociale\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Questa fobia \u00e8 caratterizzata da una paura totalizzante e da un'eccessiva autocoscienza nelle situazioni sociali quotidiane. Il disturbo da ansia sociale \u00e8 strettamente legato alla vergogna e comporta la percezione di una minaccia latente o attiva nel giudizio altrui.<\/p>\n

Il conflitto ha origine dentro di noi<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n

Coloro che soffrono di ansia probabilmente proiettano il proprio stato interno sull'ambiente circostante. Il mondo \u00e8 percepito come un luogo spaventoso. La psicoanalisi mira a esplorare i conflitti interiori, a comprenderne i meccanismi e a smantellare i vecchi schemi di pensiero e di azione che ci tengono prigionieri.<\/p>\n

Problemi memorizzati nell'inconscio<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

La psicoanalisi cerca le cause all\u2019origine. Ad esempio, quella che in passato pu\u00f2 essere iniziata come ansia appropriata o preoccupazione (ad es. atti persecutori da parte di un genitore o di tutore, se si \u00e8 stati vittima di bullismo a scuola), pu\u00f2 ora essere diventata un prisma distorsivo attraverso il quale la persona percepisce se stessa e il mondo che la circonda.<\/p>\n

Capire ed elaborare come e perch\u00e9 l'ansia si \u00e8 evoluta (trasformando ci\u00f2 che \u00e8 inconscio in\u00a0<\/span>conscio<\/em>), \u00e8 il primo passo per liberarsi definitivamente da questo potente sabotatore interno.<\/p>\n

In che modo pu\u00f2 aiutare la psicoanalisi<\/i><\/strong><\/i><\/h3>\n

La psicoterapia psicoanalitica \u00e8 un processo che aiuta a sviluppare e a migliorare il rapporto con noi stessi. Facilita lo sviluppo interiore scardinando situazioni insostenibili create da pensieri e sentimenti inibitori che dominano la nostra realt\u00e0 interna ed esterna.<\/p>\n

Creare una nuova narrazione\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/i><\/h3>\n

La psicoanalisi cerca di resettare quella distorsione della percezione che ci rende ansiosi nel nostro modo di\u00a0<\/span>essere<\/em>. Scoprirai col tempo che il lavoro di sviluppo interiore prodotto dalla terapia stimola a sua volta nuovi modi di interagire con il mondo esterno.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here I focus on those that emerge in my clinical practice:<\/p> <h3><strong>Realistic Anxiety<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3> <p><em>Realistic<\/em><i>\u00a0<\/i>anxiety (1) is the healthy mechanism by which we avert a threat, or potential threat, that is\u00a0<em>real:\u00a0<\/em>(eg, avoiding an accident while driving; to redouble our efforts in order to meet a deadline).\u00a0<em>Realistic<\/em><i>\u00a0<\/i>anxiety is necessary to spur us on to strive or survive.<\/p> <h3><strong>Generalised Anxiety Disorder <\/strong><\/h3> <p>Difficulties arise when anxiety has become a fact of our internal life and the backdrop to how we experience ourselves and external situations. It is a latent state of\u00a0<em>foreboding<\/em>, a chorus of disapproval that throbs in the head and chest. Generalised anxiety sees danger where none exists and it takes offence where none is intended.<\/p> <h3><strong>Panic Disorder<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3> <p>When unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear are accompanied by physical symptoms.<\/p> <h3><strong>Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3> <p>PTSD can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm has occurred or was threatened.<\/p> <h3><strong>Social Anxiety\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3> <p>This is characterised by overwhelming fear and excessive self-consciousness in every-day social situations. Social anxiety is closely linked to shame and it perceives a latent or active threat in other people's judgment.<\/p> <h3><b><i>The conflict is within ourselves<\/i><\/b><\/h3> <p>Those who suffer from anxiety are likely to be projecting their own internal state onto their surroundings. The world is experienced as a frightening place. \u00a0Psychoanalysis seeks to explore the internal conflict, to understand its mechanisms and to dismantle old patterns of feeling and thinking that hold us in subjection.<\/p> <h3><strong><i>Problems stored in the unconscious<\/i><\/strong><i>\u00a0<\/i><i><\/i><\/h3> <p>Psychoanalysis looks for underlying causes. For example, what may have begun as a realistic anxiety in the past (in the case of a persecutory caregiver, or of having been bullied at school), may now have become a distorting prism through which the sufferer perceives themselves and the world around them.<\/p> <p>Understanding and processing how and why your anxiety has evolved, (bringing what is unconscious into\u00a0<em>consciousness<\/em>), is the first step to ultimately unburdening yourself of this powerful internal saboteur.<\/p> <h3><strong><i>Ways psychoanalysis can help<\/i><\/strong><i><\/i><\/h3> <p>Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a process by which you will develop and improve the relationship you have with yourself. It nurtures internal growth, eventually dismantling as untenable what have evolved as inhibiting thoughts and feelings that dominate our internal and external lives.<\/p> <h3><strong><i>Creating a new narrative\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><i><\/i><\/h3> <p>Psychoanalysis seeks to reset those distortions of perception that make us anxious as a way of\u00a0<em>being<\/em>.\u00a0Moreover you will discover over time that your \u00a0development through the work in turn elicits new ways in which the world interacts with you.\u00a0<\/p> <p><strong>(1) Freud, S., (1917)\u00a0<\/strong><em><b>Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis\u00a0<\/b><\/em><strong>in\u00a0<\/strong><em><b>The Standard Edition of Complete Psychological Works, Vol XVI. \u00a0<\/b><\/em><strong>Strachey, James ed. 2001.
