Summary
In this solo episode, I talk through exactly what I do when I feel anxiety rising, which happened again just last week. I talk you through my practise of taking pen to paper, exactly what kind of questions I ask myself and how I put myself back in the driving seat which helps to ease the anxiety massively. The most important thing? Employing the Assess and Address technique and asking yourself 'what vulnerability factors are at play here?' I hope you find this episode helpful.

Thanks so much

| 1:05.8 | So for anyone who is new to the series, just to reacquate myself, I'm an Irish journalist and I'm the author of owning it, the number one international bestselling anxiety book |
| 1:10.2 | and the |
| 1:10.9 | confidence kit, which was its follow-up, and I have a third book due for release in January. |
| 1:15.8 | And my aim with this podcast is very simple, just to help people better understand anxiety |
| 1:20.2 | so that it has less of a negative impact on them. I share my experiences, having suffered |

| 1:45.7 | mostly with just me, myself speaking, that will help us cope with the increased anxiety that we're |
| 1:50.1 | all facing at this time. I know just from seeing on social media and having people interact |
| 1:56.3 | with me over the podcast, that the pandemic has brought, you know, quite a lot of anxiety to the fore for |
| 2:01.5 | a lot of people. And, and for some of them, it's, it might be a new feeling for them. And maybe |
