Nyyti News 3/2022

Concerns, feelings, and fears are worth addressing. They should not be pushed aside or repressed. However, it is important to remember that one should not worry too much, and one should not be ashamed of one’s own feelings. If we deny our feelings, we give fear more power, which can lead to growing anxiety and panic reaction.
