How to handle the 4 different types of anxiety

There are people who understand depression and anxiety on a personal level and there are people who understand depression and anxiety on a medical level. There are relatively few people who understand both, and I’m one of them. As a clinical psychologist I have a doctorate degree and thousands of hours of professional experience providing treatment for mood and anxiety disorders. I also have 39 years of personal experience managing mood and anxiety disorders as I myself deal with these struggles. This podcast is my attempt to synthesize my personal knowledge with my professional knowledge. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-eilers/support

10 Way To Use Your Smartphone To Improve Your Mental Health

You might be (accidentally, unknowingly, unintentionally) making your life worse in a number of ways.


One way is your (internal and implicit) criteria for what is considered a "good day." Your requirements for defining a good day might be ruining your life.


But you can modify these "checkboxes," and I'm going to help you do that.

How To Have Mostly Good Days (The Happiness Equation)

If you've Lost Hope in Life, I invite you to join me for a live conversation and Q&A; Thursday, May 16th at 4pm est. Here's the link: https://bit.ly/losthopeinlifelive 

I spent years chasing acceptance; it ruined my life.

People rejected me, so I kept lowering my standards. It was the transitive property fallacy - I'm "less than."

This video exposes that toxic thinking, and I layout a better approach to self-worth that might actually work for you.

You’re Worth More Than You Think (Don’t Misuse The Transitive Property)

Insecurity is a universal human experience, not a personal failing. Most coping methods actually reinforce insecurities rather than resolving them.


Embracing insecurities as identity reinforces negative thoughts. Denying weaknesses leads to reality harshly exposing them. Overcompensating through impression management is exhausting.


I'll show you how to overcome insecurity through incremental self-improvement. Facing insecurities through gradual exposure therapy diminishes their power.
