Contrary to “common sense” when anxiety insists that everything is a threat your therapist can actually support and encourage you will you challenge that narrative and face your fears. Therapy is a growth enterprise, not just a soothing or calming thing.

ANXIETY IS A TRICKSTER!
It will trick you into thinking you’re taking better care of yourself, but often the exact opposite might be true. When anxiety tells you to retreat, avoid, hide, and do nothing but try to regulate yourself and soothe yourself, it can trick you into ignoring your physical, social, and mental well-being. This is why anxious people look like masters of self care, but are often struggling with their overall sense of wellness. Is anxiety tricking you into ignoring these three dimensions of wellness?

WHAT IF I MISS A MESSAGE FROM MY ANXIETY?!?!?! Disordered anxiety is rarely if ever a message. Here's 60 seconds on how to address the fear that you if you disengage with your anxiety, you might miss an important message. That's not true, so take a chance and let reality show you that you've always been wrong about it. #anxietyhelp #anxietytips #anxietyrecovery #panicattacks #agoraphobia
ANXIETY "TOOLS"? It's OK to look for anxiety tools, but be very careful about what you expect those tools to do. If all you want are ways to instantly calm you down, stop anxiety, prevent panic, or stop scary thinking, you will wind up VERY disappointed and frustrated. Look for tools that help you navigate, not tools that eradicate. #anxietyhelp #anxietyrecovery #anxietydisorder #panicattacks #agoraphobia
Recovery is acting on the hardest days...
This is a raw deal, but its the deal we have. Don't fall into the trap of waiting for "good days" before you act on your recovery. You learn the most on the days where you are challenged the most. Check episode 265 of The Anxious Truth podcast for more on this topic

ANXIETY AND … SHOE TYING?
Yup. Learning to recover is kinda like learning to tie your shoes. You learn to tie your shoes so that you can tie them whenever you need to. You don’t learn so that your shoes stay tied forever. We learn to navigate through anxiety and we learn that we can handle being anxious and afraid so that we can do that whenever we might need to! Shoot at the right target in recovery. It’ll make a difference, especially when trying to avoid the “relapse” and “square one” traps.💜

Every Mens Mental Health Podcast
A little creative parody to illustrate that we tend to discuss mens mental health in a really unusual way that wants to address real issues but also wants to satisfy traditional definitions of “maleness”. I appreciate anyone that’s at least talking about these things in some way but I also think we can do better. #mensmentalhealthawareness #mensmentalhealth #mentalhealthpodcast #anxietyhelp #panicattacks #agoraphobia
