Anxiety recovery is possible when we are able to sit in the discomfort of doing the hard things.
Imagine feeling like you're making strides in your anxiety recovery, yet still grappling with the same fears and discomforts. In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata dives into the nuanced dance between success and struggle on the path to recovery. He breaks down why two people doing the same anxiety-challenging tasks might experience vastly different outcomes. Could it be that what looks like struggle is actually a sign of progress?
Drew thinks so and explains how facing your fears and sitting with discomfort can be pivotal. He also sheds light on the role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex—our brain's 'gatekeeper'—in filtering out negative thoughts during these challenging moments. By embracing the discomfort and using positive language, Drew believes we can shift our mindset and move closer to recovery.
Tune in to uncover why acknowledging every small victory is essential, and how psychoeducation and support can help you disassociate anxiety from real danger.
