Summary
In today's episode, Gina discusses the important distinction between first fear and second fear in the realm of anxiety experience. Sufferers of anxiety may not have total control over the first fear (initial fear-inducing stimuli) but we have much influence over our experience of the second fear (our reaction to the first fear). Listen in for Gina's thoughts, analysis and tips to help minimize your experience of the second fear!
