Summary

In this solo episode, alongside a therapeutic breathing exercise to help relax the mind and body as you listen, I offer 8 common misconceptions we can have about anxiety that serve only to enhance the anxiety itself. These are 8 beliefs I held that quite literally held me back from getting to a point of owning it and feeling better. I hope these will be helpful reminders for you too, especially as we navigate our way through the pandemic. If you find the series helpful and want to support it financially, please tip the price of a cup of coffee to the show over on my patreon page, patreon.com/carolineforan - it is much appreciated!

0:20.3	Hello, dear listener and welcome back to season three of owning it
0:23.7	the anxiety podcast with me, Caroline Forin. So for this season, you may be aware that I'm a little bit more
0:29.5	focused on the current situation of the pandemic and I'm hoping to offer a comforting space
0:33.7	of reassurance reminders and coping skills to get us through this very bizarre experience.
0:38.9	That being said, there's nothing in this season that won't also stand to you going forward
0:42.5	long after we've come out of this mess if we ever get there. And every episode should give you
0:47.2	at least one or two takeaways to add to our arsenal of tools that you can draw upon
