Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore

anxiety, panic and PTSD, sharing how you can overcome them for life.

Hello, how welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast.

In today's episode, I'm talking about getting beyond anxiety.

This should be something as really of interest to you because who doesn't want to get beyond anxiety?

I wanted to start the show by reading a quote, a favorite quote of mine, and this is from Victor Frankl.

He says, between stimulus and response, there is a space.

In that space lies our freedom and our power to choose our response.

In our response lies our growth and our happiness.

And again, that's from Victor Frankl.

It's important for us to remember that it is our response that is so important

as we are moving through anxiety and panic, PTSD, all of our stresses in our lives, keeping that in mind, the response.

So talking about getting beyond anxiety, we want to be thinking about it in the way of how do we go beyond feeling a little bit better

and actually coping or managing anxiety panic and actually going beyond it.

You have also heard me in the past, used the term to clear it, to actually not be using anxiety as a part of who you are or what you are dealing with on a regular basis.

You can do this.

So the difference between coping with or managing anxiety and moving beyond it is very, very important.

It's the differences like night and day.

To manage, we find the tips and the tricks and tools, the props, the crutches, all of these things that we need actually to begin our journey.

And we use these to keep the anxiety panic at a dull roar, to keep it in a way that we can get through our days.

We can manage and we can get through with not having the entire day or part of the day being totally immersed by anxiety.

Now, many of these tips and tricks and tools that we work on, these work by helping with the acute anxiety, that anxiety that we have, that we are just feeling it flare up and we have to deal with it in that moment.
