Disordered: Anxiety Help

Anxiety About Not Being Anxious? (Episode 043)


Listen Later

Do you ever get anxious ... because you're not feeling anxious?

This is a real thing in our community! Anxious people who begin to experience moments where anxiety and agitation fade into the background will often find themselves becoming anxious because they're not feeling anxious!

This week Drew and Josh explore this confusing but all too common anxiety recovery issue. The discussion includes:

  • How old anxious brain habits die hard.
  • Why it is normal to immediately worry that feelings of calm will not last.
  • Treating yourself as fragile to keep the anxiety from "coming back".
  • The importance of recognizing non-anxious moments as indicators of recovery rather than harbingers of doom.
  • As usual, the episode includes a combination of professional experience, training, knowledge, and personal experience alongside a dash of good humor and a few reminders about the need to be patient and kind with yourself to keep "Craig the critic" at bay.
