Hello, my lovely friends, welcome. Before we get started with the episode, I am so thrilled to announce

something really special that we're doing for the month of March here on your anxiety toolkit

podcast. I'm trialing a new format. And I personally love it. I think

you're going to love it. We're going to see how it goes. So this month, we are dedicating the

entire month to one topic, which will be generalized anxiety disorder. Now, the whole month, we're going to be

focused on helping you to understand generalized anxiety and give you practical compassion

centered tools to manage it. So here is what we've got lined up. First thing to kick off the

month, I am talking to you today about the three

attitude shifts that you are going to need to make if you have generalized anxiety to start

changing how you relate to your anxiety. You don't even have to have generalized anxiety

to get a lot out of this episode or even all of these episodes. Then next, I'm going to be

answering all of the listener questions that we've had, the most common ones about GAD and

panic, how it overlaps with OCD, how it overlaps with other conditions, what is the treatment, how do we manage it and so forth.

Then you're going to have to get really ready because we have a special surprise guest coming

and she just dropped so many gold.

So I'm giving you a little secret hint there, but we have a surprise guest. And then to wrap up

the month, we're going to dive into some self-compassion statements that you will need to overcome

anxiety and generalized anxiety. Because really, as you already know, how you talk to yourself

really can determine your recovery. But that's not all. I also have another

very exciting announcement just for you. I'm beyond excited to share that we are launching a brand new

and completely updated course called Your Anxiety and Panic Toolkit.

It is sort of a reimagined version of our older course, which was called Overcoming Anxiety.
