Episode notes
Anxiety Roots Lie In The Past
- Anxiety isn't truly about the current situation; it's triggered by past fears of abandonment or not being enough.
- Recognizing this origin creates mental space and reduces being hijacked by panic.
Separate From The Anxious Part
- Step outside the feeling and label it as a part of you, not your whole self.
- Observe and ask that part what it's afraid of instead of shaming or suppressing it.
Ask The Scared Part What It Needs
- Ask the scared part specific questions: What are you afraid of and why? then listen without immediate action.
- Naming the fear lets you respond rationally instead of reacting emotionally.
