Positive self-talk and and imagery and visualization, those are real tools. But when you are in the middle of rising anxiety and panic, those are not the tools you need.
Ever been told to just 'think positive' when you're in the throes of anxiety? In this episode of The Anxious Truth, Drew Linsalata challenges the common advice of using positive self-talk to manage anxiety and panic. Drew doesn't mince words as he explains why this well-meaning advice might actually be doing more harm than good.
Instead of relying on affirmations and visualizations, he advocates for a more hands-on approach: taking action, embracing discomfort, and showing courage in the face of anxiety. Through this candid discussion, Drew also touches on the pitfalls of avoidance and safety behaviors, emphasizing the need to confront these habits head-on for real progress.
If you're tired of the same old advice and ready for a fresh perspective on managing anxiety, this episode offers a no-nonsense approach that could change the way you think about your recovery journey.
