A Healthy Push

097: Let’s Stop Pretending to Be Okay and Instead Embrace Our Humanness


Listen Later

When I was struggling with anxiety, panic disorder, and agoraphobia, I did lots of pretending. And when I say lots, I mean every day! I didn’t want to allow myself to be human, and I certainly didn’t want to let others see that I didn’t have it all together.

This pretending might sound like… 

-Always saying you’re okay, even when you’re not 

-Pretending you’re not anxious

-Hiding the things you’re struggling with 

If you find yourself engaging in these behaviors this episode is for you, my friend! We’ll talk about why you might find yourself needing to pretend to be okay, and why it’s okay to not have it all together. Don’t forget to listen to the full episode for all the insights and goodness!
