Community Poetry – “Shrinking in my anxiety”

“Shrinking in my anxiety”

A poem inspired by a members deep listening and reflections from one of our recent anxiety skills group.

“I try to listen to what I’m hearing, and then I reflect. I thought of my other piece breaking through the barriers and how all things are truly connected. We often talk about holding space for others and in that moment I realised I can also hold a space of a thought, a word if you will that I could share simply because I recieved something truly special in that moment. I was for all intensive purposes giving back the gift of how powerful we are together. Simply put I wanted to return something that was so freely given to me”
