Bye Bye Panic

How to Stop Being Emotionally Reactive


Listen Later

Anxiety makes it hard to control your emotions. Even a random comment or an inconvenience can be overwhelming. Like everyone’s suddenly started pushing your buttons... including the ones you didn’t know you had.

Plus, there’s the black-and-white (well, mostly black) thinking. Do these thoughts seem familiar:

  • “I’ll never get better...”
  • “Why does this always happen to me?”
  • “Am I cursed or something?”

Yes, I know they do.

But here’s the good news: emotional reactivity isn’t your fault. And an even better one: it doesn’t have to stay forever. You just need to learn how to stop avoiding emotions and let them come and go without reacting to them.

In this episode, I talk about how to manage your emotions, shift your mindset, and build resilience. Join me to learn how to be less reactive and more in control.

Bonus reminder: Anxiety recovery isn’t a straight line. Real healing happens when you start recognizing the progress you’re making, even if it’s small. Even if you take two steps forward and one step back.

Let’s dive in!
