Taming Anxiety: Embracing Acceptance with Steve Abma

Accepting anxiety is a crucial step in preventing it from taking over your life. When we fight it, we give it more power.
Ever feel like anxiety has a grip on your life? In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi chats with registered psychotherapist Steve Abma about a game-changing approach to managing anxiety: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Steve explains how embracing rather than fighting your anxious thoughts can be the key to finding peace. Forget trying to banish anxiety—ACT encourages you to accept it and move forward with your life.
Steve also breaks down how ACT differs from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), another popular method for tackling anxiety. They discuss practical tools and techniques that can help you recognize and manage anxiety, including how these therapies can also address OCD. If you’re looking for ways to keep anxiety from ruling your life, this episode offers practical advice and a fresh perspective. Tune in to discover how acceptance can lead to empowerment.
