EP 233 - Anxiety Triggers: The Power of Suggestion with Jay Floyd

There are going to be moments in the real world that confirm your worst fears. Let's acknowledge that unless you have, and there are truly completely irrational fears, gravity will turn off as one that seems to come up a lot now.
Ever felt your anxiety spike after hearing a piece of news or seeing something on social media? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', host Drew Linsalata welcomes his old friend Jay Floyd to discuss how real-world events can trigger anxiety through the power of suggestion. Jay shares a personal story about how the death of a celebrity impacted him, even though he considers himself mostly recovered from anxiety.
This candid chat dives deep into the mechanics of how suggestion works to trigger anxious thoughts and feelings. Jay and Drew discuss the importance of risk assessment when dealing with anxiety triggers. They explore how understanding the odds can help you step away from irrational fears, like the fear of dying in a plane crash. Jay emphasizes that it's essential to think logically and not let sensational stories hijack your peace of mind.
Drew also touches on the recovery process, sharing that even someone as far along in their journey as he is can still have 'uh-oh' moments. He stresses the importance of being kind to yourself and gradually slowing down when you're sensitized to triggers. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt reflections that will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with anxiety.
Whether you're in the thick of it or on the road to recovery, Drew and Jay's conversation offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in to learn how to manage your anxiety triggers and take steps toward a calmer, more balanced life.
