How do we apply the principles of mindfulness and mindful acceptance when treating anxiety and anxiety disorders?

Well, this week we're looking at part two of a conversation between three anxiety therapists

that answers that question. So let's get to it.

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to The Anxious Truth. This is episode 319 of the podcast. We are recording in early June of 2025. In case you're listening from the future, today we're going to join part two of a conversation that I had with my friends Lauren Rosen and Joanna Hardis, two other anxiety specialists practicing in L.A. and Cleveland

respectively, where we talked about how we apply the principles of mindfulness and mindful acceptance

when treating anxiety and anxiety disorders with real clients. If you have not watched

episode 318, which is the first part of this conversation, go back and do that now, and then come

here and pick up as and then come here and

pick up as we finish the conversation and look at directions that we might take going forward.

So before we get back into this chat that I had with Lauren and Joanna, just a quick reminder

that The Anxious Truth is more than just this podcast episode or this YouTube video.

There are way more resources on my website at the anxious truth.com,

including books and social media feeds and workshops and all the goodies. So head on over there

to the anxious truth.com. Check them out. Avalue yourself of all the resources, especially the free stuff.

There's no reason not to. I hope you find what you get there helpful. Let's get to it. We're going to finish

talking with Joanna

and Lauren about how the three of us apply principles of mindfulness and mindful acceptance

when we are treating real anxiety and anxiety disorders in real therapy clients. I hope you find

it interesting. So here we go. When last we left, our band of three here, we had done a little bit

of a role play where I was the anxious client and you guys were, were the season therapist,

which you certainly are. And what struck me about that was how different. I even said it in

the last episode. I put a little at it and say, look how different the approaches were.
