Kendall Jenner Unpacks the Meaning of Anticipatory Anxiety
For Kendall Jenner, public speaking is a frequent source of anxiety. “I really, really don't like public speaking, it makes me nervous and uncomfortable but then there's moments in my life as a public figure that I do kind of have to be in that position,” the model shares. “If I have something coming up that's bringing me out of my comfort zone… it can consume me to the point where I'm not focusing on what is happening to me that day or in that moment, I'm just worried about what is going to happen in the future.”
In the last installment of “Open Minded,” Vogue's four-part series exploring anxiety and how the mental condition can impact everyday life, Jenner sits with psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb to discuss where anxiety about the future stems from. “Anticipatory anxiety is when you are feeling anxious about something that hasn't happened yet and may never happen," explains Gottlieb. "So you're anticipating that something catastrophic or disastrous is going to happen.”
Because stress and anxiety can affect all aspects of mental wellbeing, including memory retention, Gottlieb shares tips for staying grounded in the present, from awakening the individual senses one by one to rubbing ice in your hands. “It really brings you into the present because you have to really notice.”
