When I was deep in anxiety – the panic attacks, the weird body symptoms, the obsessive thoughts – I kept thinking: ‘Once I understand what’s happening, I’ll be free.’

So I searched. Read. Watched the videos. I got it.

But I wasn’t getting better.

In this episode, I talk about why knowing what anxiety is – even being able to explain it in detail – doesn’t mean you're healing. I break down why intellectual understanding is just the first stage of recovery, and how people get stuck believing that more insight = more progress.

It doesn’t.

I’m sharing the real stages of recovery:

  • what it means to actually apply what you’ve learned 
  • what “embodiment” looks like in real life
  • why your brain – the very thing you’re relying on to get you out – is probably keeping you stuck

If you’re like, ‘I know all of this, so why am I still anxious?’ – this episode is for you.

Tune in!

  • Intro (00:00)
