You've got to start to use us more as instructors, as people who can keep you on the path, maybe people who can bring you together in a community that inspires and encourages you and cheers for you, but then you have to slowly start to drop us on the floor and don't let us become rituals, crutches, soothers or safety devices for you.
Ever thought about whether your favorite anxiety podcast might be more of a safety net than a stepping stone? In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', host Drew Linsalata tackles a surprising topic: the potential pitfalls of leaning too heavily on anxiety podcasts during recovery. Drew, with his usual candid style, warns against turning these podcasts into crutches that might hinder your journey to self-reliance and personal growth.
He acknowledges the value these podcasts bring—offering insights, advice, and a sense of community—but he also highlights the risk of becoming overly dependent on them. Drew's message is clear: while podcasts can be fantastic tools for learning and connection, they shouldn't replace other forms of support or your own inner strength. He encourages listeners to use these resources wisely and gradually build confidence in their own recovery process.
By blending personal anecdotes with practical advice, Drew provides a balanced perspective that resonates deeply with anyone on the path to overcoming anxiety. So, if you're curious about how to strike the right balance between external guidance and self-trust, this episode is a must-listen.
