Do you ever feel like your anxiety is some kind of punishment? You're not alone. In this thought-provoking episode of The Anxious Truth, Drew Linsalata tackles a theme that resonates with many in his community. After asking his Instagram followers if they felt anxiety was a form of punishment, Drew was taken aback by the overwhelming response. Clearly, this is a common sentiment among those struggling with anxiety disorders.
Drew dives into this idea, offering practical advice and comforting insights to help you shift your perspective. He emphasizes that anxiety is not a punishment and discusses how guilt and past traumas can distort our perceptions. Drew highlights how we often magnify our anxieties, turning them into something far more significant than they are. By viewing anxiety as a punishment, we inadvertently give away our power and influence.

He also addresses the pressure of high expectations and the feeling of being 'less than'. While acknowledging the difficulty of these feelings, Drew offers hope and actionable steps to move forward. He advises listeners to act as if they are not being punished and to focus on small, manageable steps toward recovery.
