HOW CAN I ACCEPT OR ALLOW ANXIETY WITHOUT SPIRALING?


This week on The Anxious Truth let's answer a common question about "spiraling". This is a term used every day in our community so lets dismantle it a bit and re-conceptualize spiraling in two parts. One spiral - the downward spiral - is based on how you feel. The other spiral - the anxiety itself - is an UPWARD spiral, which is more accurately described as a storm.


Let's look at how we can address the first spiral by addressing the second - robbing the anxiety storm of its energy rather than feeding it more.


This episode is - as usual - full of paradoxical stuff. Isn't recovery both interesting and really confusing sometimes???
