Summary
Hello, friends!
This is a straightforward question and answer episode. First a couple updates:
I changed the free preview content that is available on http://kickanxietycourse.com. Now you can get three free lessons that cover defining anxiety, breathing strategies, and thinking traps. Good stuff.
The audiobook for F**k Anxiety will also be new and improved probably near the end of next week. I'll update again when the changes are processed.
Here are this week's questions:
- My husband and I want to explore polyamory, but how can I get over my anxiety about him liking someone else more than me?
- How can I get my family to stop abandoning me due to my bipolar?
- What can I do now that my disability prevents me from doing the things that I used to love?
As always you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com
