About this episode

On this episode, I talk about the challenges anxiety sufferers face while going through their recovery journey. The question is, why do more traumatic memories present themselves after I release and resolve one? To answer this, I discuss the unconscious mind and how it stores trauma. I then go over the process of reframing and how we can release the baggage within our unconscious that is weighing us down. After, I explain why another traumatic memory replaces the old one and how you can resolve this continuous pattern.
