When we try to look back at our life before an anxiety disorder and try to get back to that time when I didn't have anxiety, that may not be true.
Ever caught yourself wishing for your 'old self' back, only to realize that maybe you were never truly anxiety-free? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata dives into the intriguing concept of having anxiety before you even knew you had anxiety. Drew shares his personal story, reflecting on how he once believed he was free from anxiety until the disorder fully took over his life.
He invites listeners to look back at their past experiences and identify subtle triggers that might have gone unnoticed. This episode isn't just about recounting the past; it's about understanding how those early, seemingly minor anxious moments can snowball into a full-blown disorder if left unchecked. Drew explains how even people without a diagnosed anxiety disorder can experience anxious moments, but interpret them differently, which can significantly impact their mental health journey.
The conversation takes a hopeful turn as Drew emphasizes that recognizing these patterns is a crucial step toward recovery. He encourages listeners to take responsibility for their anxiety and offers practical advice on managing those overwhelming moments. With a blend of empathy and expertise, Drew makes complex topics accessible and relatable, providing a comforting yet informative guide for anyone grappling with anxiety.
So, if you're ready to understand your anxiety from a new perspective and take steps toward recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
