The

The Today we're talking about the different faces of anxiety that can shrink our lives.

And often, these are things we don't realize come from anxiety.

Hi, Ananga, it's good to be with you today.

Hey, Shen.

I thought we'd begin by discussing some of the things that make our lives small,

that we don't really associate with anxiety or feeling anxious.

Yeah, the things that come up from the side or behind

and we're just dealing with them

and we don't really realize that they may be coming from anxiety

and there may be something we can do about them.

One of the things that used to come up for me a lot

as a younger version of myself

was feeling very transparent or incredibly

vulnerable thinking that everyone else in the world could see in my head or know what I was

struggling with and man that was disarming.

When we know the truth really is that everyone's looking in their own head.

Right?

Sometimes even if we want somebody to see what we're trying to express or what we're dealing with it, it's difficult because everyone's caught up in their own

challenges and journey.

But yeah, that can feel very vulnerable for sure.

And definitely something that comes hand in hand with anxiety
