Learn how to recognize and work through the inner tension that anxiety creates when two truths pull you in opposite directions.
Conflicting feelings aren’t a sign that something’s wrong with you—they’re a signal that more than one truth matters. In this episode, Evren explores the inner tug-of-war that fuels anxiety, showing how thoughts, body sensations, and defenses interact in the Triangle of Conflict. Through personal examples and clear steps, you’ll learn how to map your reactions, name the opposing pulls with honesty, and use the S.A.F.E. Method to bring both sides into clarity and action.
When you stop forcing one feeling to win and let both speak, the energy bound up in anxiety turns into guidance.
