Episode notes

Anxiety is information and preparation, we need to then put that preparation into action. We can in those moments do something that can allow us to be back in the present moment. Another thing that can help us listen to anxiety without allowing it to destabilize us is social support. Our brains actually evolved to outsource emotional challenge to draw on our social networks.

Anxiety is an uncomfortable emotion, which is why most of us try to avoid it. But psychologist Tracy Dennis-Tiwary says our anxiety is also trying to tell us something. This week, we explore how we can interpret those messages and manage the intense discomfort these feelings can generate.
