The Anxiety Coaches Podcast 1171: Classic ACP There Is Nothing Wrong With You
In today's episode, Gina is here to help you realize that despite your discomfort and negative monkey-mind thinking, you are ok and that there is nothing wrong with you. Our anxiety is constantly telling us we are broken and that there is something profoundly wrong with us, but these are thoughts induced by the anxiety fire raging through our bodies and nervous systems. When we can recognize and understand this, we can make great strides with feeling better and progressing with our anxiety recovery.

Summary
In today's episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into a crucial concept that can significantly reshape how we approach our lives amidst anxiety: the understanding that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with us. Many individuals grappling with anxiety often adopt a victim mentality, believing that they are fundamentally broken or flawed due to their feelings and experiences. This mindset can lead to a cycle of shame and reassurance-seeking behaviors that only exacerbate anxiety, pulling us deeper into a negative spiral.
Through our conversation, I stress the importance of recognizing the normalcy of anxiety and other discomforting feelings. It’s essential to check in with healthcare practitioners to rule out any physical issues, as many of us have done. After receiving the green light from professionals, we start to realize that the physiological responses we have experienced—stress levels, hormonal fluctuations—are simply our body’s response to environmental cues, not indicators of personal failure or dysfunction. This realization serves as the foundation to shift our internal dialogue and self-talk, moving from self-judgment to self-compassion.
We explore various coping statements that can serve as powerful tools in moments of anxiety. Phrases like “I am allowing this feeling to be here; it’s okay,” or “This too shall pass,” help in recognizing that feelings are transient and do not define our worth. I encourage listeners to embrace these feelings without judgment, allowing the discomfort to pass without the need for immediate action or understanding. This approach fosters a more accepting relationship with oneself, understanding that it’s normal to experience discomfort and anxiety as part of the human experience.
