| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches |
| 0:09.3 | Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life. |
| 0:21.0 | Oh, Loh how welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. In today's episode I want to talk a little |
| 0:30.4 | bit about anxiety and attachment. And later on in the show I want to talk to you |
| 0:35.9 | about four ways that you can learn to let go a little easier. Anxiety and attachment seem to go together like peanut butter and |
| 0:47.1 | jelly. I am telling you we when we are anxious when we are overstressed or in situations that are causing us great duress |
| 0:56.6 | we have a desire to have some control and in that we attach, we attach to people, places, things, experiences, and most importantly |
| 1:10.4 | here for us to thoughts. So attachment here, what I'm talking about is not the |

| 2:13.0 | Think about this in your life. |
| 2:15.0 | Where do you have relationships that are attachments for you |
| 2:21.0 | versus just a relationship? You'll be able to notice the difference. If you don't have this it won't |
| 2:27.8 | ring a bell, but if you do, if you are attached to particular relationships or, and this gets into the realm of thoughts, |
| 2:37.4 | the thought of a relationship, right? We can get attached there also. So this is one of the places we can get stuck or |
| 2:47.0 | attached. The other is things, actual things, physical things in our lives, |
| 2:54.4 | such as homes, cars, clothing, knickknacks, books. |
