  • 24. Dealing with Anxiety & Worry - Debbie Cunningham & friends

    Today on Midlife Crescendo we are talking about anxiety & worry and how to process it in our day to day living so it doesn't rule our lives.

    Our guests today are me and a few of my friends.

    I share the story of our daughter Deanna's open heart surgery at 3 years of age.

    -How the stress & worry of the outcome of that affected me physically.

    -How applying God's word helped me overcome the tyranny of fear as we went through that process & months of waiting.

    -Steps you can take to battle your anxiety & worry.

    In our Chic Chat segment today, I invited a few of my friends to give their thoughts on how they handle it when they feel worry or anxiety over something. I think you'll find something unique and helpful from each of these women's perspectives.

  • 23. Finding Blessing From Fear -Tricia Thornton, LPC
    Today on midlife Crescendo we are talking with licensed professional therapist, Tricia Thornton, about FEAR.
    Now fear is defined as an unpleasant, often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger.
    It is absolutely a God Given emotion to help protect us. 
    However, sometimes we have ongoing fear or exaggerated fears because of a traumatic event in our past and this kind of fear can paralyze us and keep up from moving forward in our relationships and our lives. 
    We discuss:
    4 types of fear responses
    Signs to look for that you need to address underlying fear
    Also how to help ourselves or children in your life work through trauma, truths, lies and triggers.
    Healing that can come from facing those things.
    This is the kind of fear we are talking about today. Just an FYI if you have little ears around,Tricia talks about a traumatic death in her childhood. It is not graphic but I wanted to make you aware of it in case you prefer to listen with earphones.
