The Paula Faris 'Faith & Calling' Podcast

Ep 96 - Dr. Anita Phillips: Normalizing Anxiety, Radical Compassion And The Healing Power of Awkward Hugs


Listen Later

In these stressful post-pandemic years, more and more of us find ourselves struggling with mental health. Whether you’re experiencing a battle in your own mind or watching a loved one wade through panic attacks and face anxiety daily, it’s helpful to remember there are things you can do to help. 

Nationally acclaimed trauma therapist, Oprah contributor and host of In The Light podcast, Dr. Anita Phillips, joins Paula for a conversation at the intersection of mental health, faith and culture. Years after experiencing childhood trauma, Dr. Anita would discover her search for healing was also a larger calling to champion others suffering from mental health issues. In this intimate conversation, hear Dr. Anita’s advice to Paula and anyone parenting or walking alongside someone struggling and her unveiling of the misunderstanding many of us have on emotions. Learn practical tips for reframing your thinking, how to best show up when those you love are struggling and why weighted blankets and 20 second hugs are completely underrated. 

Keep up with Dr. Anita over at AnitiaPhillips.com.
