Owen O’Kane : The Truth About Anxiety and How to Work With It, Not Against It


Listen Later

What if your anxiety isn’t the enemy, but a message? In one of our most transformative conversations yet, psychotherapist and bestselling author Owen O’Kane joins us to explore anxiety in all its layers, and how we can use it to benefit us — from its roots in childhood to the way it shows up in our bodies, relationships, and daily decisions. Owen shares why anxiety isn’t something tofight, but something to understand, befriend, and even learn from. 

We explore trauma, shame, and the stories we carry — and how they quietly shape our self-worth and sense of safety. Owenshares what sitting with the dying taught him about peace, purpose, and what really matters in the end. He also opens up about his own journey growing up gay and Catholic in Northern Ireland — and how he learned to rewrite his story with compassion.If you've ever felt anxious, overwhelmed, or like you're carrying invisible weight from your past, this episode will leave you feeling seen — and more equipped to come home to yourself. 

Owen’s brand new book, the instant Sunday Times Best-Seller ‘Addicted to Anxiety’ will help you understand anxiety from the perspective of addiction, identifying your triggers and learning how to break your habits.
