✨ Today's Episode:
When Healing Becomes Another Form of Strain
For many people living with anxiety, stress overload has been familiar for a long time. It may have even felt protective. Productive. Necessary.
So when healing begins, it's common to bring that same energy into recovery itself.
Trying harder. Doing more inner work. Monitoring progress. Pushing through discomfort. Constantly asking, "Am I better yet?"
But what if that familiar stress response, the one that once helped you survive, is now quietly keeping the nervous system stuck in alert?
This episode explores how anxiety recovery can unintentionally turn into another form of suffering when it's approached from the same identity that created the urgency in the first place.
