- 23. 5 Coping Strategies That Keep Anxiety Stuck
Are you tired of trying everything under the sun to manage your anxiety, only to find it sticking around like an uninvited guest?
You’re not alone.
In this episode, we explore five common habits that might be secretly keeping your anxiety high.
Here’s a little teaser of what you can expect:
- Endless Searches for Solutions: Are you always on the hunt for that one magic fix? This might be adding to your stress.
- Relying on Non-Expert Groups: Those Facebook groups and chat forums may not be as helpful as you think.
- Taking Anecdotal Advice: Medications and interventions that worked for others might not be right for you, and the overload of info can be overwhelming.
- Hyper-Monitoring Symptoms: Using smart devices to keep tabs on your anxiety might actually be making things worse.
- Avoiding Triggers: Steering clear of anxiety-inducing situations might provide temporary relief but can lead to more anxiety in the long run.
If any of these sound familiar, you won't want to miss this episode.
Tune in to find out more about these behaviours and learn how to break free from them.
