Agoraphobia is one of the most misunderstood anxiety disorders—and if you’re struggling with it, you’ve probably asked yourself more than once: Will I ever feel normal again? Can this actually get better? In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what agoraphobia is (and what it isn’t), how it develops, and most importantly, whether or not it can be cured.

Whether you’re just starting to understand your experience or you’ve been on this journey for a while, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and a big reminder that you’re not alone—and recovery is absolutely possible!

On this week’s episode of a Healthy Push podcast, I was joined by someone most of you may be familiar with at this point, Annie! 

Annie is a former Panic to Peace student turned friend, and I was so happy to have her back for another episode. Together, we go through some questions sent in by you, while offering brief, helpful insights along the way.

Here are some questions we discuss:

• How do you not let the physical symptoms (heart skips/palpitations) cause panic?
• How do you make yourself believe it’s “just” panic/anxiety rather than something else?
• I struggle with panic and agoraphobia. What do you recommend for a first big trip in a while?
• How do you not get weirded out being so far from home?

If you’ve been following me (especially on social) for a good amount of time now, you probably already know that I’m an adventurous person. I love to hike, ski, travel, and try and new and exciting things, but I always did this stuff with other people.

A couple of years ago I felt a strong desire to do more things on my own, and although it's been hard and uncomfy, I've learned a lot along the way and have gained a lot in the process.

In this episode, I'm sharing with you how I started doing things alone and how it's changed so much for me. I dive into:

• 5 things that have helped me do more alone (and with less anxiety)
• gaining confidence and self-trust
• what may hold you back
• some suggestions for starting out

Ever worry that anxiety is going to make you go crazy? Do you worry about losing your mind, or having to be admitted into an inpatient unit? If you struggle with this fear - you're not alone or weird. This fear is VERY common! And it's one I struggled with immensely when I was struggling with panic disorder and agoraphobia.

So, in this episode, I'm diving into:

• Why these feelings/this fear is experienced in the first place
• The reasons these catastrophic thoughts may pop-up
• Simple approaches to quiet these overwhelming thoughts
• How to approach these shifts without fear—because change rooted in fear often creates more anxiety.
