Over the past year and a half I’ve had to do a lot of things that scare me. I had to conquer an eating disorder and some of the most crippling anxiety and depression I’ve ever experienced. I had to face my past hurts and dive into my triggers in extensive therapy. I put all of my stuff in storage and left on a nomadic year of travel with my husband, away from my family and friends. I’m sharing how I was able to do all of this with help, exposure therapy, and building up positive history with myself, despite it terrifying me to my core.
