The Calm Confidence Podcast (Formerly the "Therapy on Tap Podcast")

We all have a tendency to externalize our stress. When we feel stressed, we blame the thing or the world instead of looking inward.

Take the power back in your life by taking responsibility for how you react to the world around you. Please don't forget to like, subscribe and share with your friends.

In this episode I talk about what I call the "anxiety trap." This is the pattern we fall into when we ruminate. We feel like the more we think about something, the closer we'll get to a solution.
