[00:00:00]We tend to rationalize our emotions and blame those triggers, but with endogenous anxiety, they are mere triggers. Because if it weren't that stressor, it would be some other stressor. The anxiety is primordial. It comes first. It will find something to worry about. It will latch on to the most obvious stressor, and when that passes, it'll pick something else to fret about because the anxiety is a priori and it needs to be expressed, and it's not going anywhere. And if there are no major problems and everything is actually going well, this anxiety will invent problems. What if? What if? What if this happens? What if that happens?

[00:00:34]Because there is something wrong in the central nervous system. The anxiety is there and it must find expression. This anxiety is with us from the start, from the crib. We were colicky babies, we were nervous, timid kids, we're nervous adults. [music] We worry too much. We worry all the time. Maybe we're a little OCD or a lot.
