It's important to understand that the sensations, thoughts, and feelings you are experiencing are a NORMAL part of being human!
Have you ever felt like your anxiety or trauma responses made you feel broken or abnormal? In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata chats with Monique Koven about how these feelings are actually a normal part of being human. Too often, society labels anxiety disorders and PTSD as mental illnesses, which can make people feel even worse about their experiences.
But Koven brings a refreshing perspective, emphasizing that these responses are learned reactions to past events, not signs of being damaged or ill. Together, they unpack the cognitive side of anxiety disorders and the significant role trauma plays in PTSD. The discussion is both enlightening and hopeful, as Koven shares ways to find a 'shiny light' in dark times.
This episode is perfect for anyone looking to understand their own anxiety or trauma responses better and to challenge the stigmas often associated with these experiences.
