593: Welcome back to the Anxiety Slayer podcast. One of the questions we get asked most is how to handle unwanted thoughts. Throughout June we’ll be discussing how our thoughts color our experiences, how they can get out of control, and what helps settle our thoughts and bring more peace to our minds.
 
Today’s Anxiety Slayer podcast is sponsored by Betterhelp 
 

BetterHelp wants to remind you that you matter just as much as everyone else does, and therapy is a great way to make sure you show up for yourself.

We all carry things that stress us out and when we keep them bottled up,  it can start to affect us negatively. Therapy is a safe space to get things off your chest—and to figure out how to work through whatever’s weighing you down. During the pandemic, I found that working with a therapist was helpful for learning positive coping skills and creating personal goals for self-care. It isn’t just for those who’ve experienced major trauma; etc.

How is your social battery right now? Are you feeling energetic or ready to recharge?
Sometimes people pleasing can make you feel worn out due to a lack of boundaries or maybe you’ve been a bit more solitary during the winter months. It can be easy to ignore our social battery and spread ourselves thin – especially with social gatherings picking up after the winter.
What’s the right amount of socializing for you? And how do you recharge? Maybe you thrive around people, or maybe you need some more alone time. Therapy can give you the self-awareness to build a social life that doesn’t make you feel depleted.
Therapy is helpful for setting boundaries; it empowers you to be the best version of yourself; it isn’t just for those who’ve experienced major trauma.
