What up, bitches. Welcome back to Law of Attraction, Change My Life.

I'm your host, Francesca Amber, and today I'm with Owen O'Nokeane, the author of Addicted to Anxiety.

Welcome.

Thank you. I'm so excited to have you here.

Yeah, good to be here. I discovered this idea that anxiety is addictive about a month ago. I don't know

how I came across it, but it was saying that anxiety is as addictive as cortisol. And I was like, fucking hell.

Surely not.

And I feel like as soon as you know that, you see it showing up in your life, don't you?

And you become aware of it.

So please tell us about this book, the title, How You Got It?

Right.

Where to begin?

So anxiety and trauma, they're the Simon Psychotheraubist,

anxiety and trauma are the two things that I'm probably most interested in.

For two reasons, I mean, professionally I'm interested in it,

but as a human being, my Kenny early life had a lot of significant amount of trauma and anxiety in it.

So I think when you've experienced something then, you kind of take an interest in it.

And I knew at some point I was going to do an anxiety book,

but I wasn't going to do a sort of fluffy, you know,

heal your anxiety in a day or anything like that.

I was clear that I wanted to,

I wanted it to be kind of hard hitting and truthful because anxiety's tough.
