After more than 26 years of helping people recover from anxiety, there are certain things I find myself saying over and over again. They're simple, but they've helped thousands of people stop fearing anxiety, trust their minds and bodies again, and reclaim their lives.
In this episode, I'm sharing 10 of the most powerful reminders I give my patients - from why you won't die or go crazy from anxiety, to understanding intrusive thoughts, learning to trust yourself instead of your "safe places,: and how changing what you visualize can transform your recovery.
