If you suffer from anxiety and would like to understand more, we dive into the statistics, symptoms, and strategies for coping with this prevalent mental health issue. Join myself and Sue Ashford (Therapist) as we explore the impact of anxiety on the brain, discussing the changes in the amygdala and hippocampus. We also provide insights into common strategies to manage anxiety, including tips for dealing with triggers, staying physically active, and engaging in relaxation techniques. Anxiety is a pressing issue that requires our focus, but it is not an illness. Pay attention to your thoughts, but don't let them consume you. Treat your thoughts with kindness, as you are your own toughest critic. The aim is to cultivate positive thoughts because anxiety serves a purpose—it reminds us to take action.
