The Inner Freedom Initiative is all about igniting a movement of emotional freedom in your life. As a Licensed Therapist, I am a counselor on a mission to help people get set free from the emotional bondage and baggage they carry around with them each and every day. Join us as we dive into different topics and even areas in our relationships with others that keep us from living abundantly FREE!
When anxiety shows up, it has a tendency of trying to take over. It runs the meeting in your mind and either dictates with a sense of urgency what you need to do, or it can become immobilizing with everything it is holding onto in that pressing moment. Anxiety can feel like it is taking over, but in this four part Anxiety series, my hope is to encourage us to slow things down. Let's investigate together. Let's get curious about what is happening when we feel anxious. Your anxiety might just be there for a purpose. The four areas in this series are looking at what happens within us when anxiety shows up in our Cognitions (thoughts), Transitions, our Trauma Reminders, and when Anxiety goes Viral all around us.
This episode looks at what to do when anxious symptoms are occurring all around us and Anxiety goes Viral! We are slowing down the presence of anxiety by talking about:
(1) How do we stay calm when others are anxious?
(2) How do we help a friend in need without becoming a friend in need?
(3) Checking in with ourselves before and after we walk into a room
