When struggling to overcome anxiety of the chronic form or anxiety disorders, there are a lot of

questions that come up. So today on episode 339 of The Anxious Truth, I'm going to answer a bunch

of questions that were asked by members of the disordered podcast community. So let's get to it.

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to The Anxious Truth. This is the podcast that covers all things anxiety, anxiety disorders, and anxiety recovery. I'm Drew Lin Salada, creator and host of this podcast.

I'm a therapist that specializes in the treatment of anxiety and anxiety disorders practicing

in New York State.

I'm also a former sufferer of the very things we talk about here on The Anxious Truth,

an author on this topic, psychoeducator, advocate, guy with way too many expensive microphones and cameras.

Welcome to the anxious truth.

If you are new here and you have just stumbled upon this episode by accident, welcome.

I hope you find today's episode helpful in some way. And of course, if you're a returning listener or viewer on YouTube,

hello, YouTube, welcome back. Thanks for hanging out with me this week. We are going to answer common questions, anxious people, people who are struggling with anxiety disorders, chronic

forms of anxiety, who are trying to overcome that, especially if they are trying to make use of

acceptance and mindfulness-based approaches, like I talk about here, and we talk about on the Disordered

podcast, which you can find, by the way, at Distorted.fm, often have many, many questions, and rightfully

slow. These are reasonable questions. They're not crazy questions. There are no crazy questions in this.

So I asked members of the

Disordered podcast community to suggest questions and topics for today's episode of The Anxious

Truth, and they did. So I'm going to read a bunch of those questions and answer them as

quickly as I can in about 20 or 25 minutes. Hopefully you will find your question among these.

And if you haven't, maybe you can take some of those principles and apply them generally. If you would like to talk about what you hear today on this episode of The Anxious Truth or interact with me or Josh Fletcher, my co-host on Disordered, or other people in the community that share your experience and are living this alongside you, you can do that in the Disordered Community

app. That is completely optional. We're not selling a cure. This is not a promise of panic to peace.
