When we do the hard and scary recovery things that we're always talking about, that often feels really dangerous. The process of doing scary, difficult, hard things as part of recovery, going down the path to recovery, really is very much learning to live recklessly.
Imagine feeling like you're living recklessly just by facing your fears. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata takes us through the heart-pounding journey of anxiety recovery. He explains why doing things that scare us can feel like stepping into danger, even though it's a crucial part of healing. Drew dives into why we naturally resist these challenging steps and how embracing them can actually help us regain control over our lives.
Drew's approach isn't about being truly reckless; it's about breaking free from the grip of anxiety by confronting those false alarms our minds set off. He sheds light on why we often feel like we're acting irresponsibly when we stop trying to protect ourselves from imagined threats. This episode is packed with practical advice on how to handle health anxiety, the pitfalls of excessive problem-solving, and the importance of letting go of the need to control everything.
One standout moment is Drew's discussion on self-compassion and acceptance. He emphasizes that being kind to ourselves is a key part of recovery. And for those constantly seeking reassurance from Google, Drew offers a refreshing perspective on why it's better to embrace uncertainty. With a touch of humor and a lot of empathy, Drew makes complex concepts easy to understand. He even connects the podcast to the song 'Afterglow' by Ben Drake, adding a personal touch that resonates with listeners.
Whether you're struggling with panic attacks or just looking for ways to manage anxiety, this episode is a treasure trove of insights and encouragement. Tune in and discover how to live boldly in the face of anxiety.
