About this episode

Your health anxiety recovery begins today, Click Here to Get Started.

All show notes for this podcast can be found Right Here.

In this episode, we explore the biggest obstacle in healing from anxiety: our resistance to shedding old values and identities. Anxiety is a complex issue with mental, emotional, behavioral, verbal, and imaginative components. But the most challenging part of healing anxiety is our struggle to release the behaviors and beliefs that have kept us captive.

In this episode you will learn,

  • How to deal with your unconscious resistance to healing
  • Where your biggest obstacle to anxety recovery actually comes from
  • How to simplify your anxiety healing journey

If the anxiety guy podcast is helping you on your path towards healing please share with someone or an anxiety support group in need. It would mean so much to me. 

Enjoy!
