From fear of death and going crazy to concerns about heart attacks and losing control, Drew identifies four primary themes that resonate deeply within the anxiety community.

By recognising these patterns, Drew offers practical advice on how to shift focus from specific fears to broader anxiety management strategies. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with chronic anxiety, offering both reassurance and actionable steps towards recovery.
