“Sometimes self-care means I got to connect to what we need. And what we need doesn't always mean comfort or soothing or rest. Sometimes what we need is something different.”
When you think of self-care, do you picture essential oils, hot baths, and cozy candles? Drew Linsalata, host of The Anxious Truth podcast, wants to expand that vision. In this episode, he dives into the less glamorous but equally crucial aspects of self-care in anxiety recovery. Drew suggests that sometimes, true self-care isn't about comfort at all—it's about challenging yourself and breaking free from avoidance patterns.
He argues that giving yourself what you really need might mean embracing discomfort now to feel better later. This episode encourages listeners to rethink their approach to self-care, making it a tool for genuine growth rather than just immediate relief. Whether you're battling panic attacks or dealing with agoraphobia, Drew's insights can help you build a more resilient mindset. So, if you're ready to redefine self-care and take your anxiety recovery to the next level, this episode is a must-listen.
