Dudes and dudettes welcome back to the anxious truth this is episode number 144144 welcome

back to the show today we have a guest my friend Josh Fletcher Josh anxiety Josh on Instagram

by the way and I'll remind you that later but Josh is a working therapist in the UK him

and I become buddies and trying to collaborate as much as we can when we can and we've been

meaning to do this for a while we finally got around to doing it so when I have Josh on

the second we had a really good conversation that started talking about what happens when

Josh has clients come into his practice and he's going to make them do hard and scary

things you guys are familiar with with the deal you hear me talking about all the time

Josh has the same message and they dig their heels in I don't want to do hard scary

things this isn't okay I don't want to do it this is not right you know how do we

approach those things sometimes we just need a bit of gentle encouragement and a little

bit of compassion a little bit of cheerleading so that was a good way to start the conversation

and then it sort of veered off into all kinds of different aspects of anxiety and anxiety

disorders and recovery strategies and therapies it was a good conversation I really enjoyed

it I think you guys are going to too so before I get into it I'm going to take 30 seconds

to remind you that I wrote a book about how to recover from anxiety disorders and it

is called the anxious truth just like the podcast the step by step guide to understanding

and overcoming anxiety panic and agoraphobia you can find it on my website at the anxious

truth calm slash recovery guide so if you are looking for more help then you can just

get and podcast episode or Instagram post by all means go check out the bucket is helping

a lot of people and I'm proud of that and if you have the book already and you're digging
