Imagine feeling a wave of panic every time you're alone. That's what life is like for those grappling with monophobia, the fear of being alone. In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata dives into how monophobia intertwines with panic and anxiety disorders, and what you can do about it. If you've ever relied on a 'safe' person to get through anxious moments, this episode is a must-listen.
Drew breaks down how this dependency can evolve into monophobia, making it hard to face everyday life without that safety net.
