0:00.0	Hey guys. Welcome to Episode 10 of Not Another Anxiety Show. I'm your host, Kelly Walker,
0:17.7	and today I have one of my favorite people, Dr. Amy Johnson, joining me to talk a little
0:22.2	bit about the nature of thoughts and habits. Good afternoon, Amy. Hi, thank you for having me.
0:30.4	Thanks for joining us. You know, I thought this would be a really relevant conversation because on the
0:36.2	show, we talk a lot about how living anxiously
0:38.4	comes to be via some innocent and unknowing habit.
0:45.8	Yeah, it's interesting to think of anxiety as a habit, but it kind of is.
0:50.2	Yeah, yeah. So I was just going to take a minute to tell our listeners a little bit more
0:53.5	about you if that's cool.
0:55.0	Sure. Perfect. So Dr. Amy Johnson is a psychologist, coach, an author of Being Human and The Little Book of Big Change. The Little Book of Big Change, it's like a tongue twister.

1:12.3	Amy has been a regularly featured expert on the Steve Harvey Show and Oprah.com, as well as in

1:52.2	mysteriously get very sick whenever my mom would like go on a date or like whenever I had a big test or something you know and it was just like
2:03.4	I don't know I'm just sick but obviously I can see now how it was just anxiety and um and so that kind
2:10.2	kind of continued and really um kind of hit a peak when I was in graduate school and I was having
2:16.0	lots and lots of panic attacks,
2:18.4	I'm afraid to leave my apartment, all of that good stuff. And yeah, and then it kind of hit that
2:25.4	point and something had to be done. So I did some stuff, whatever I did. You know, I did some
