Summary
Anxiety can feel like a heavy burden that keeps you from doing the things you love and being your healthiest self. However, navigating anxiety becomes far more manageable once we understand how it happens and harness it as a means of communication with our body.
On today’s episode, Erin delves into the foundational aspects of anxiety. This includes a breakdown of the brain’s physiological response when anxiety is triggered, as well as an exploration of the seven most common causes of this mental state. For real-world strategies, Erin shares solutions to anxiety that can transform it from a burden to a pathway for self-awareness and healing. You can use the tools in this episode to uncover what your anxiety may be telling you, learn how to listen to its signs, and support your overall well-being.
