Overcoming Anxiety: The Importance of Doing the Work First

Before you do recovery, you're putting the cart before the horse, and if you're really frustrated, that could be why. Are you putting the cart before the horse?
Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop, trying to beat anxiety before you even start your recovery journey? In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata unpacks a common pitfall many face: attempting to recover before actually doing the recovery work. Drew explains that waiting for fear to disappear before starting your recovery is like putting the cart before the horse. He emphasizes that you must face your fears head-on and do the work while still afraid.
It's through these experiences that true recovery begins to take shape. Positive self-talk alone won't cut it; you need to engage with your fears to learn and grow from them. Drew also delves into using habituation and inhibitory learning models as part of the recovery process. These methods require action and persistence, helping you build belief in yourself and the journey you're on. Drew's insights are both practical and encouraging, offering a roadmap for anyone feeling overwhelmed by their anxiety.
By sharing his own struggles and triumphs, Drew provides a relatable and empathetic perspective that can inspire listeners to take those crucial first steps towards recovery. Whether you're just starting out or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers valuable advice on how to move forward with courage and confidence.
