You should be approaching recovery as a way to learn that it's okay, even if you do get anxious and panic, because when you get there and know that you can handle it no matter where you are or what the situation is, then it starts to go away and it goes away in a more durable way.
Ever wondered why exposure therapy is such a game-changer for anxiety? In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', host Drew Linsalata breaks down the mechanics behind this powerful tool. He dives into the concepts of habituation and inhibitory learning, explaining why some exposure techniques work wonders while others fall short. If you've ever felt like your progress in managing anxiety was hit-or-miss, this episode sheds light on the reasons why.
Drew emphasizes the importance of accepting anxiety rather than trying to eliminate it and highlights how resisting the urge to escape or avoid can lead to a more robust recovery. By understanding these principles, you can better navigate your journey toward lasting relief. Whether you're new to exposure therapy or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers valuable insights that could transform your approach to anxiety management.
