Summary
Hello, friends! This is a re-release of episode 98, which is an episode that I refer back to quite often on the show. I talk about the concept of exposure as it relates to anxiety and take you through different techniques for lowering your sensitivity to anxiety. This is must-know information for those that are serious about taking their lives back from anxiety.
I also discuss an immediate change to my online course, Kick Anxiety's Ass. The price has been drastically reduced from $300 to $75! Enrollment in the course will be closing on 3/15/20 so that we can revamp the course and add even more awesome features.
In this episode, I also talk about my blogpost to help you find a therapist, which can be found at duffthepsych.com/findatherapist.

Hey everybody, before we start the show I want to make a couple disclaimers. |

| 0:23.9 | variety of topics related to mental health and life in general and some of those |
| 0:27.6 | could be sensitive for you. I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave |
| 0:31.6 | in consuming difficult content but also respect and recognize your limitations. |
| 0:36.0 | So please use your best judgment. I will never be offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely, |
| 0:42.0 | but feel free to feel it out check out the |
| 0:44.0 | episode and just see what happens if you need to skip that's okay but you know feel |
| 0:47.5 | free to give it a shot first I also need to say that while I am a psychologist |
| 0:51.6 | I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your therapist. |
| 0:54.8 | This is not intended to be direct medical advice and you should not use this as a substitute for |

| 1:35.6 | re-posting episode 98, which was all about exposure for anxiety. I mentioned this a few times |
| 1:41.4 | recently, but Apple Podcast, Google Play a lot of these |
| 1:44.0 | podcast players they don't like holding on to any more than a hundred episodes |
