Anxiety and Our Life in
               Christ
                     By, Marcus Geromes M.Div, LMFT

Anxiety and anxiety related disorders account for nearly a third of what Americans spend on mental health annually, or $42 billion
per year. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, roughly 40 million Americans or 18% of the population suffer
from anxiety and anxiety related disorders and, of those people, nearly half experience depression in conjunction with anxiety.

With these statistics in mind, it’s fair to assume that Orthodox Christians are also grappling with the effects of anxiety in their lives
and are wrestling with how to work through the discomfort of this emotion.

Genetics, environment, and trauma can all contribute to anxiety, so it’s a complex experience that takes a multi-faceted approach
when working to reduce symptoms. Anxiety is what psychologist Chip Dodd refers to as an “impaired emotion,” stemming from
fear, which has a future-oriented component to it. Often with anxiety we try to control or establish an illusion of control around
issues that may cause us distress, even though we may have very little control in reality. This worry can become problematic to the
individual or family when it becomes a baseline state of being or what psychologists refer to as “homeostasis.”

Anxiety comes in two predominant forms. Though it gets a lot of bad press, the first type is vitally important for our survival.

“Acute anxiety” is one of the body’s best survival tools and helps us to respond quickly when we are in imminent danger. Our
body’s sympathetic nervous system sends information to the parts of the brain that make us react to protect ourselves, to quickly get
out of harm’s way, or to be still. This is known the “fight, flight, or faint response.” This present-focused form of anxiety resolves
itself quickly as the threat passes, and can be understood as the body’s way of energizing you to keep yourself safe.

Conversely, “generalized anxiety” or “chronic anxiety” is the type of anxiety that stays with us even in the absence of an immediate
threat. This second type of anxiety can cause intrusive and ruminating thoughts, restlessness, insomnia, and headaches, among others
symptoms. There are many reasons for this type of anxiety, both genetic and environmental, but it is this chronic type that causes
disruptions in the quality of our life and causes us to lose our overall sense of peace and stillness or “hesychia.”

The preferred therapeutic model for anxiety reduction is “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,” a method which began to develop in the
1950s and focuses on the link between our thoughts and how we feel and ultimately behave. The wisdom of the Church, as re-
flected in both our Scriptural and Patristic Tradition, has a remarkably similar prescription for the reduction of chronic worry.

“Generalized anxiety” is predominantly treated with medication, therapy, exercise, or some combination of all three. As Orthodox
Christians we have additional tools at our disposal. Our liturgical experience, the regular participation in the Sacramental life of the
Church, and a community of believers with whom we can draw strength each provides us with resource for moving toward stillness
of mind and body. In fact, in some cases, we can see interesting parallels between clinical techniques and the ascetic experience of the
Church.
In Philippians 4:6-8, St. Paul writes, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your
requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through
Jesus Christ. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure,
whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate
on these things.”

Not only is St. Paul advocating that we rely on God rather than retreating to our own illusions of control, but he exhorts us to focus
on those things which are truly beautiful. By training our minds to focus on content that brings us joy, we begin to indirectly influ-
ence the emotions that cause us distress.

Additionally, modern psychology has established a link between gratitude and the reduction of depression and anxiety. A daily prac-
tice of gratitude, which is a focus on our gifts rather than a comparison of what others do or don’t have, is also something that St.
Paul prescribes in the passage quoted above. Recall that he advises us to approach God in everything with thanksgiving.
St. George Greek Orthodox Church Fresno, CA - Rev. Fr. James C. Pappas, Presvyter - St. George Church
Elder Thaddeus’s famous work, “Our Thoughts Determine our Lives,” also identifies cultivating positive thoughts like gratitude,
rather than negative thoughts, as a way through which we enter into greater levels of hesychia. He writes, “Our life depends on the
kind of thoughts we nurture. If our thoughts are peaceful, calm, meek, and kind, then that is what our life is like. If our attention is
turned to the circumstances in which we live, we are drawn into a whirlpool of thoughts and can have neither peace nor tranquility.”
Modern research indicates that our brains simply do a poor job of multi-tasking. So, as we train our minds to practice gratitude, we
simultaneously lose focus of those things which bring us anxiety.

Additionally, recent clinical studies have shown that, in as little as eight weeks, we can change brain structures through the practice
of a regular prayer rule. The amygdala is a primitive structure in the brain integral to the fight, flight, or faint response; it causes us
to be reactive rather than responsive. As we engage in our prayer rule and enter into the beautiful and mystical reality of our Ortho-
dox services, we are literally changing the structure of our brains, thereby opening ourselves to a more peaceful experience of daily
life.

Christ and His Church offer salvation, eternal life, and the hope of the Resurrection. The church is not a type of psychiatric medi-
cation or a fabrication meant to calm our existential crises. It is the place where we experience the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven
and God’s love for mankind through the ultimate expression of gratitude in the Eucharist. It is in this experience, in conjunction
with the best of what modern medicine and therapy have to offer, that we find rest from the worry of this world. And, as we find
peace, those around us will encounter Christ’s saving rest as well.

Book of the Month: Reclaiming Conversation the Power of Talk in a Digital Age
Sherry Turkle investigates how a flight from conversation undermines our relationships, creativity, and productivity—and why
reclaiming face-to-face conversation can help us regain lost ground. We live in a technological universe in which we are always
communicating. And yet we have sacrificed conversation for mere connection.

 We develop a taste for what mere connection offers. The dinner table falls silent as children compete with phones for their par-
ents’ attention. Friends learn strategies to keep conversations going when only a few people are looking up from their phones. At
work, we retreat to our screens although it is conversation at the water cooler that increases not only productivity but commit-
ment to work. Online, we only want to share opinions that our followers will agree with – a politics that shies away from the real
conflicts and solutions of the public square.

The case for conversation begins with the necessary conversations of solitude and self-reflection.
They are endangered: these days, always connected, we see loneliness as a problem that technology
should solve. Afraid of being alone, we rely on other people to give us a sense of ourselves, and our
capacity for empathy and relationship suffers. We see the costs of the flight from conversation
everywhere: conversation is the cornerstone for democracy and in business it is good for the bot-
tom line. In the private sphere, it builds empathy, friendship, love, learning, and productivity. But
there is good news: we are resilient. Conversation cures.

Based on five years of research and interviews in homes, schools, and the workplace, Turkle argues
that we have come to a better understanding of where our technology can and cannot take us and
that the time is right to reclaim conversation. The most human—and humanizing—thing that we
do.

The virtues of person-to-person conversation are timeless, and our most basic technology, talk,
responds to our modern challenges. We have everything we need to start, we have each other.

Well done
                       good and faithful
                                                                                  servant
                 In the Gospel of Saint Matthew (6:19), Jesus instructs us, "Do not store up for ourselves
                  treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal….”
                 Often in life, we pursue and collect those things that do not last. We must ask, “One hun-
                 dred years from now, where will our possessions be?” Our greatest blessing is our family. As
                   Orthodox Christians, we are called to be stewards of this great gift. If we are faithful to
                  this calling, perhaps our Lord will say to us as he did to the faithful steward, “Well done
                                            good and faithful servant” (Mt 25:23).

                                         Give, give, give?
  One day, a person complained to his priest that the Church and Christianity is one continual “give, give,
give.” To which the priest replied, “Thank you very much for the finest definition of Christianity I have ever
  heard. You’re right, Christianity is all about a constant “give, give, give.” God giving His only Son to the
world to show His unconditional love. His Son Jesus giving His life on the cross to forgive our sins and de-
    stroy death. Then our Lord’s disciples giving all they had to make sure God’s Good News of love was
  preached to all people everywhere. They not only gave away their homes and businesses, but even gave up
                                   their lives as martyrs in gratitude to God!
