The Gap Between You and Your Anxiety: Finding Healing in the Space Between

Hey everyone, Dr. Russ here! This week on The AnxietyRX Podcast, we're diving deep into the world of anxiety – not just the racing thoughts, but the physical sensations too. We'll explore how our bodies actually throw us an "alarm" when we're anxious, and why learning to recognize these signs is key to healing. I'll be sharing my own story about anxiety, and how stuff like social media can seriously stoke the flames. We'll also talk about this concept of "the gap" – that space between feeling anxious and reacting to it. I'll also be teaching you a technique called "objecting without contracting." No fancy jargon here, just a practical way to connect with your inner child and offer some compassion in those anxious moments. By learning to acknowledge and process this internal "alarm," I believe we can completely transform our relationship with anxiety. So, if you're ready to ditch the anxiety cycle and find some healing, this episode is for YOU! Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions. PS.
