Personal Journey with Anxiety

The host shares his personal struggles with anxiety stemming from a traumatic experience where he was held hostage at knife point. This event led to a decade-long battle with PTSD symptoms including hypervigilance, panic attacks, and depression, which affected his relationships and overall well-being. Instead of succumbing to these challenges, he used them as motivation to study Stoicism, learning various techniques to manage anxiety. His experiences culminated in the creation of a seven-day guided meditation course that has been well-received, but he felt the need to expand on this subject further.
