Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches

Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life.

Aloha, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. In today's episode, I want to talk to you

about how you can talk to other people about your anxiety. I often get asked,

how can I discuss my anxiety with let's say a co-worker or my boss or family members even my spouse that is a

question that comes up and I wanted you all to know that if you're wondering about this yourself

it's a common question and there are other people who don't wonder about this at all

like they just are clear on who they're going to talk to about it and who they're not

going to talk to and never crosses their mind again. We're all different and sometimes relationships and how we are in relationship with people

and how our anxiety is affecting that or how we want to just share the fact that we're dealing with anxiety may come up and I

thought we'd talk a little bit about that today and why it's important for you to

understand that it's okay to talk to other people about your anxiety

if you have been wanting to. It is important to talk about it if this is heavy on your mind. I wanted to start with a

quote today from Walter Anderson and he says nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action.

And so this is something we can pay attention to because

if we take action on this question of how do I talk to other people about my anxiety once we

begin to take the action we don't feel the stress of it anymore. It's kind of ironic, right, to have stress about talking to people about your stress.

But this is real. So that's the way anxiety tends to go round and round and round and around.

So just know that as Walter Anderson says, nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action.

So I want to talk about some ways that you can do this

and take some action for yourself

if you are wanting to talk to other people about your anxiety.
