“Our imagination and reasoning powers facilitate anxiety; the anxious feeling is precipitated not by an absolute impending threat – such as the worry about an examination, a speech, travel – but rather by the symbolic and often unconscious representation,” what Willard Gaylin (2008) mean by this is that not only does anxiety come from an upcoming event but something can represent a traumatic time can cause anxiety (p.23). While I was living in Alaska, I went to hang out with some friends to play Frisbee. We were all having a good time until I was hit on the bridge of my nose with the Frisbee. I was feeling fine, but my friend Hayley started crying and told me I was bleeding when I heard that I started freaking out. I went home crying and my mom took me to the hospital. While at the hospital I was still crying, the doctor stitched up my cut and told I needed to come back to remove them. Since that day, I have been scared to play Frisbee or go anywhere near one. Even though this happened years ago, we can still recall the memories and still experience the feeling from a traumatic event. The little things can cause anxiety, anything connected to what happened to you, for example; a rose can cause you to get anxiety because it was connected to an event that happened to you (Gaylin, 2008, p.23).
