Living With Anxiety: Embracing Life While Recovering

Episode Overview

  • Recovery is intertwined with living life and engaging in meaningful activities
  • Combining recovery and life activities leads to a more effective and meaningful recovery journey
  • Embracing life as part of the recovery process fosters long-lasting progress
  • Challenging the conventional recovery approach to anxiety disorders
  • Valuable insights drawn from Drew's personal experience and professional expertise
You don't want to only recover to live. You want to live the best you can to recover. And as you go down the road, you will discover that you're living more and recovering less, but you're living more and recovering less, but you're living more, but actually recovering more at the same time.
Is it possible to live fully while still recovering from anxiety? In episode 283 of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata flips the script on traditional recovery methods. Rather than seeing life as something that begins only after you've 'recovered', Drew suggests weaving life and recovery together. This episode dives into how engaging in everyday activities can actually bolster your recovery process. Drew, who has personally battled panic disorder, agoraphobia, and clinical depression, shares his unique perspective and professional insights.
He challenges the common notion of waiting to live until you're fully recovered and instead promotes the idea of living now to aid your recovery. By integrating life’s experiences into your recovery journey, you can practice handling anxiety, fear, and discomfort in real-time. This approach not only makes recovery more practical but also more enduring. Whether you're dealing with anxiety yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a fresh and meaningful way to look at recovery.
