Knowledge is power, but we deal with sensitization, bewilderment, and fear. Fear of the unknown is as much as the known. Everything becomes a trigger. You're afraid of how you feel, and that is what once you get into that territory.
Anxiety can feel like an overwhelming force, but understanding it better can make a world of difference. In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata and Holly dive into chapter 4 of Claire Weekes' seminal book, 'Hope and Help for Your Nerves'. They unpack the 'commonest simplest forms of nervous illness', shedding light on anxiety symptoms and what triggers them.
Drew and Holly discuss why fear plays such a significant role and why simply fighting against anxiety might not be the best strategy. Instead, they advocate for a deeper understanding of sensitization, bewilderment, and fear itself. The episode also explores the pitfalls of self-diagnosis and the potential dangers of relying too heavily on medication. Instead, Drew and Holly emphasize the importance of professional help and practical coping strategies.
This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone grappling with anxiety disorders, offering both support and practical advice. Tune in to learn how to manage anxiety more effectively and regain control over your life.
