When anxiety takes over, itās easy to believe your thoughts are the truth.
But what if the way out of anxious thinking isnāt finding the right answerāitās asking a better question?Ā
In this episode, Cynthia Coufal shares how both teens and parents can use intentional self-questioning to shift perception, process emotions, and plan their next best step through anxiety.Ā
Weāll explore:
 ⨠Why anxious thoughts often sound like questions (āWhat if I fail?ā āWhy canāt I stop worrying?ā) and how to reframe them
Ā š§ The neuroscience behind curiosity and calm ā and why labeling emotions reduces stress in the brain
Ā š¬ The difference between control questions and curious questions
š± Practical prompts you can use this week to help yourself or your teen pause, reflect, and respond with more peaceĀ
Cynthia blends new research with compassionate insight to show that calm doesnāt come from silencing your thoughts ā it comes from questioning them with intention.Ā
Because the quality of your questions determines the quality of your calm. šæ Ā
