Fives value logic and control, but anxiety challenges both.
In this episode, we explore how Fives experience anxiety, why we often rationalize instead of feeling it, and how avoiding it can make things worse. We share personal stories, unexpected ways anxiety manifests in the body, and strategies that have helped us manage it—including some unconventional ones.
We also dive into the tension between self-reliance and vulnerability, the impact of anxiety on relationships, and the surprising power of learning to let go.
IN THIS EPISODE:
🔹 Recognizing Anxiety as a Five – How we’ve unknowingly lived with anxiety for years without acknowledging it.
🔹 Anxiety and the Body – Why Fives often disconnect from physical sensations, and how anxiety forces us back in.
🔹 The Anticipation Trap – How Fives can get stuck in anxious loops about things that never actually happen.
🔹 Coping Strategies – From breathwork to cold plunges to medication, what’s helped us and why.
🔹 The Power of Letting Go – The surprising link between disintegration to Seven and finding freedom from anxiety.
