In this episode, I talk about how some safe spaces are good and how some safe spaces are not only bad but really bad for people with anxiety disorders. I going to leave a full quote below of the quote I read in the episode. I hope people find this useful for navigating anxiety and difficult issues. Lastly, I hope you enjoy:)

Full quote from Van Jones: 

“There are two ideas about safe spaces: One is a very good idea and one is a terrible idea. The idea of being physically safe on a campus — not being subjected to sexual harassment and physical abuse, or being targeted specifically, personally, for some kind of hate speech — “you are an n-word,” or whatever — I am perfectly fine with that.

But there’s another view that is now I think ascendant, which I think is just a horrible view, which is that “I need to be safe ideologically. I need to be safe emotionally I just need to feel good all the time, and if someone says something that I don’t like, that’s a problem for everybody else including the administration.”
