How to slay your unwanted thoughts

Shann Vander Leek & Ananga Sivyer
About this episode

593: Welcome back to the Anxiety Slayer podcast. One of the questions we get asked most is how to handle unwanted thoughts. Throughout June we’ll be discussing how our thoughts color our experiences, how they can get out of control, and what helps settle our thoughts and bring more peace to our minds.

 

Today’s Anxiety Slayer podcast is sponsored by Betterhelp    BetterHelp wants to remind you that you matter just as much as everyone else does, and therapy is a great way to make sure you show up for yourself.      BetterHelp is online therapy that offers video, phone and even live chat sessions with your therapist, so you don’t have to see anyone on camera if you don’t want to.  It’s much more affordable than in-person therapy and you can be matched with a therapist in under 48 hours.    Give it a try and see why over 2 million people have used BetterHelp online therapy.    Special offer for Anxiety Slayer listeners, get 10% off your first month at http://betterhelp.com/slayer
