Beck suggests that befriending our anxiety, rather than trying to control it, allows us to shift our psychological state towards creativity and curiosity.
She emphasizes the importance of treating oneself with compassion during anxious times, likening it to how one would care for a frightened animal.
In her exploration of anxiety, Beck discovered a toggle effect between anxiety and creativity, indicating that focusing on one can diminish the other.
Through her new approach, Beck has not experienced anxiety for the past two years, a significant change after 60 years of struggle.
