Hello, dear listener and welcome to what will be the last official episode of

Season 5 of Owning It the Anxiety Podcast. If you're not, I will be back very soon with season

six. But for this episode, I am joined by Dr. Claire Kamametteu, who was my very first guest back in

2019. After I did my first little episode where I shared my own anxiety story, she was the first

expert who helped me to just unpack exactly what anxiety is and what's going on and just distill

a lot of the overwhelming information into something really digestible.

So Claire is back and this time we are kind of going back to basics really on anxieties.

I think it's important every now and then to remind ourselves what's going on as we go off

down different tangents of different kinds of anxieties and different ways of managing it.

So this time we're looking at a very

standard formulation exercise that would occur in a therapist's office when you're doing cognitive

behavioural therapy and it's called the five P's and it's to help you better understand your

anxiety. I find it incredibly helpful. It's very simple and it's a very easy approach to figuring out

what's going on and why you're here

before you go about making the changes or implementing certain things that will address the anxiety and help you feel better.

So this is a huge, huge, huge part of the owning it process and Claire explains it so well.

So I hope you get something from this. I certainly did. It's always helpful for me to go back and revisit certain things. So do enjoy. Dr. Claire Comessu, she's

brilliant. She's a regular speaker at various events around Ireland and online. And she's also

part of Georgie Crawford's The Goodglow Wellness Program that is available now now and her topic is all about self-worth

which we can never have too much of so go check that out and thank you as always for tuning in

for your reviews and for sharing I really appreciate it.
