075: Do You Feel Really Anxious When You're Hot? Let's Talk About It! May 08, 2023

Show notes

So often, I hear my students say that their anxiety is worse when it's hot outside. And when I hear them say this, I know exactly what they mean! Because for so long, I would do everything I could to avoid feeling hot. Whether it was a warm summer day, crowded public transportation, or sitting in a meeting at work, the heat would make me feel SO many of the uncomfortable feelings I avoided for so long (dizziness, breathlessness, racing heart).

I want to remind you, my friend, that there's nothing wrong with you for feeling anxious when you're hot. In fact, you're actually pretty normal for feeling this way! So in today's episode, I want to discuss some helpful points when it comes to heat-related anxiety...

Being hot doesn't mean you're in any danger
Heat can mimic many anxious feelings and sensations
Why you shouldn't worry about passing out
And why you CAN handle the discomfort!

074: What if Anxiety Recovery Isn't Possible for ME? May 01, 2023

Show notes

One of the questions I get asked the most is if recovery is ACTUALLY possible. Which my short and sweet answer of course is... Yes, absolutely! But I know that when you've struggled with anxiety for so long, it's easy to get tricked into believing that it's not possible and you might be the exception to recovery.

So in this episode, I want to dive into the stories that you might be telling yourself. Stories like...

"I'm just different. Recovery isn't possible for me."
"I've been struggling for so long. I'm just too far gone."
"This is just what the rest of my life is going to look like."

Because what these stories are is really just a whole lot of fear and self-doubt. And I want to walk you through how you can start changing these stories, working through your fears and self-doubt, and actually let recovery be a possibility for you!

073: Self-Compassion: A Great Tool for When the Others Don't "Work" Apr 24, 2023

Show notes

Is self-compassion a tool you've heard lots about but have sort of always shrugged your shoulders at? Yeah, I used to, too! But self-compassion is one of the tools that helped me the most in creating a healthy relationship with anxiety, and with myself. And Kimberley Quinlan also had this similar experience.

Kimberley is an anxiety and OCD therapist and specialist. And in this conversation, she dives into the power of self-compassion and she shares some exercises for how to start practicing it. And don't think this is just an episode where she shares exercises for how to speak more kindly to yourself, she also shares that practicing self-compassion is hugely physical, too!

072: Trying to Manage Anxiety Might Be a Big Reason Why You're Still Struggling Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

I thought for YEARS that the goal was to learn how to manage anxiety. So naturally, I tried everything to manage it! All the coping skills, all the mindfulness techniques, literally anything that promised anxiety relief.

And then 10 years ago, I walked into a psychiatrist's office to talk about going on medication because I was at one of the lowest points in my recovery journey, and she said to me, "F*** managing anxiety! You don't have to learn to manage anxiety."

And this was one of the most pivotal points of my recovery journey, and of my life!

070: What Being Recovered From Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia Actually Looks Like Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever wondered… What does being recovered actually look like? I know I used to!

I used to wonder things like… Will the anxious thoughts actually go away? Will I experience the symptoms and panic anymore? Will I feel like there are still things I can’t do? Will I actually be able to drive and go places without worrying about panicking or something bad happening?

So in this episode, I want to answer these questions for you and share with you what being on the "other side" actually looks like, because I want you to have a realistic view of recovery. And I know that sharing this stuff will give you lots of hope, inspiration, and insights that will help you to heal and overcome!

069: Why You Might Be Afraid to Recover From Anxiety, Panic, and Agoraphobia Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

You really want to recover, right? But there also might be a little (or big) part of you that's actually scared to recover. Whether it's because...

Recovering means you're actually going to have to do the things that scare you and the feelings are so scary.
You have no idea who you are without anxiety! Maybe because it's been a part of your life for so long.
Although it feels uncomfortable, it feels safer to stay stuck where you are and not let go of control or take any "risks."
You're scared to actually recover but then fall back even harder.
If you're recovered, people will actually expect you to do things now and you'll no longer have an excuse.

These are all things I'm diving into in this episode! Because rather than continuing to feel scared to recover, I want you to feel excited to recover! I want you to start seeing and believing that there are so many amazing opportunities for you ahead, recovery included!

068: From Overcoming Panic & Agoraphobia, to Back to Struggling & Overcoming It Again With Kathryn Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Kathryn went from being bubbly, carefree, and a world traveler, to struggling to even take a shower in her own home. Then after leaving a toxic marriage and moving back to the town she grew up in, everything went back to "normal." She was experiencing life again, without the symptoms, panic, and fear. And she thought... I'll never struggle with that again!

But then a year and a half later, she had a panic attack while driving and she quickly found herself back to creating "safe zones" and ultimately not leaving her house. Shortly after, Kathryn reached out to me, feeling lots of shame, and said that she needed some help. And through working together, Kathryn started taking some healthy steps and showing herself that the Kathryn she wanted to get back to, wasn't so far from where she was.
