This week we answered some common - and not so common - questions about anxiety and recovery. Thanks to everyone on Instagram that submitted a question. I appreciate it!

First I reviewed some basic principles you can fall back on when asking many of the questions that were asked. That's about the first 15 minutes of the episode, which will be useful if you're new to this or need a refresher to remind you of what you're dealing with.

Then we moved on to some specific questions.

• AFTER THE CRISIS HAS PASSED, DO YOU STILL NEED THERAPY? DO YOU STILL HAVE TO WORK ON YOURSELF?
• WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OCD AND GAD OR PANIC DISORDER AND HEALTH ANXIETY?
• HOW CAN YOU BE SURE THIS IS JUST ANXIETY?
• WHEN AM I ALLOWED TO REST?
• HOW DOES MINDFULNESS FIT INTO RECOVERY?
• ARE POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS OK?
• HOW DO I ACCEPT ...?
• WHAT ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS OF SELF-REGULATING WHEN ANXIOUS?
• WHAT ABOUT THIS KIND OF ANXIETY?
