“Many of us know anxiety in some form - whether we name it clearly or only describe it vaguely. The experience of anxiety has a significant effect on our soul and body - it causes tension, threatens, disturbs, touches us at the core of our being...

Only those who do not try to run away from anxiety, who actively confront it, can transform it into a positive life force.”

-Verena Kast
