When you demand assurance, you demand assurance, assurance that it's just anxiety, because in your distorted- fear-driven view, you're like somebody telling you if you're standing there and you are soaked because you're standing in the rain.
How do you deal with the nagging doubt that your anxiety might be something more serious? In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', host Drew Linsalata dives into this very question. It's a topic he hears about every day, and while the answer might not be what you want to hear, it's certainly what you need. Drew unpacks the concept of being 'sure enough' that your symptoms are just anxiety, without seeking absolute certainty.
He emphasizes that living courageously involves acting even when you're not completely sure. This episode is packed with practical advice on how to manage those fear-driven thoughts that distort reality. Drew's approach includes 'life math', a way to weigh the probabilities of different outcomes to make informed decisions. He also stresses the importance of self-compassion and self-care, acknowledging how draining anxiety can be.
Whether you're new to dealing with anxiety or have been struggling for years, this episode offers valuable insights and tools to help you face uncertainty with more confidence.
