Breathe: Fritz perls md, the founder of gestalt psychotherapy, said, "anxiety is excitement without breathing." i agree with dr. Woods that these types of feelings can come up before any major undertaking -- like a great journey you've been planning for, & now here it is. Breathing deeply helps you connect with your commitment to gain more balance and strength, as you will in therapy. Good luck to you!
