The Panic Pod

Language and Goals


Listen Later

The language we use in anxious recovery is so important and yet it is one of the things I see clients not giving the attention it requires. The language you use to describe yourself in anxiety, or yourself during recovery, is so crucial to your progress because the brain is always listening.

I often need to gently remind my clients to look at how they are speaking to themselves and ask them to reframe their words in a more positive and helpful way.

One of the main pillars of my teaching is wilful tolerance. Recovery is the wilful tolerance of anxiety, and it's a skill that we must practice. If we constantly criticize the inevitable blips in the road, if we dismiss the small victories, we aren't giving ourselves the best possible support we can give.

And so the language we use around our recovery is so important. And that is what this episode is dedicated to today.

Please enjoy!
